I built a tool to automate resume tailoring — tested it on my own applications
I used to send the same resume everywhere and barely heard back.
So I tried tailoring it to each job description manually — 30–45 minutes per application. Honestly, brutal.
Results were kind of crazy:
- Way better keyword matches
- ATS scores improved
- Started getting real callbacks
What surprised me most:
Most people aren’t getting rejected because they’re unqualified — their resume just doesn’t match how the job is written.
After a while I got tired of doing it manually, so I built Tailora to automate it. Now it takes seconds instead of half an hour.
I tested it on my own applications and the difference was noticeable.
Curious if anyone here has tried something similar?
Happy to share how it works or what I learned.
