Started separating "resume problems" from "fit problems" and it changed how I look at rejections

Most resume advice here is about wording, formatting, quantifying impact- all fair. But a chunk of my rejections had nothing to do with how the resume was written. It was stuff like years of experience, a specific degree, or location- things no amount of resume editing fixes.

Curious if others here draw that line too, or if it usually gets lumped in as just fix your resume.

Built a small tool for myself that tries to split the two apart. Not linking it since I think that's against the rules; happy to talk about it in comments, though.
