[0 YOE] CS - Wondering if I should tailor my resume for every single job application or not
Hi there,
I was wondering if it was a viable thing to change the skills section in my resume to fit the job description better. I currently have a lot of skills in my resume's skills section and someone who reviewed it said that there was too much and to tailor it for every job.
But I was wondering if I tailored it, would it seem like I just put the skills the job required to get past screenings?
I don't really care about the time it takes to edit it as I can set something that would automate that, but wanted to know if doing that would lower my resume's quality.
Thanks!
