Tailor Resume

From the evaluation + JD, extract 15-20 keywords that ATS systems scan for:

• Exact phrases from "Required Qualifications" (highest priority)
• Industry-standard terms (not creative synonyms)
• Certifications, tools, methodologies named in the JD
• Action verbs that match the responsibilities section

Step 2: Detect Language & Locale

• JD in English + US company: Letter paper (8.5" x 11")
• JD in English + non-US: A4
• JD in another language: match that language, use A4
• Resume language MUST match JD language

Step 3: Build Resume Content

Using the evaluation's Block E (Tailoring Plan) as a guide, construct each resume section from profile data:

Professional Summary (3-4 lines)

• Open with years of experience + core identity
• Include 3-5 top keywords from the JD naturally
• End with a forward-looking statement connecting to this specific role
• Use the narrative.headline from profile as a starting point

Experience Section

• Include all roles from work_history, most relevant FIRST
• For each role: Company, Title, Dates on one line
• 3-5 bullets per role, ordered by relevance to THIS JD
• Each bullet: Action verb + what you did + quantified result
• Mirror JD language exactly (if JD says "project management", write "project management", not "programme management")
• Pull specific numbers from proof_points and work_history highlights

Education Section

• Degree, School, Year
• Include relevant coursework or honors only if recent grad

Skills Section

• List JD keywords FIRST, then additional skills
• Group by category if 10+ skills (Technical, Tools, Methodologies, etc.)
• Include both acronym and full form: "Search Engine Optimization (SEO)"

Certifications Section (if applicable)

• From credentials in profile
• Include status, jurisdiction, number if relevant

Projects / Portfolio (if applicable and relevant)

• Only include if the archetype values it (Creative, Technology)
• Brief description + link + key metric

Step 4: Generate HTML

Read the template from references/resume-template.html.

Fill all {{PLACEHOLDER}} slots with the generated content.

ATS compliance rules (from references/ats-rules.md):

• Single column ONLY
• Standard section headers exactly: "Experience", "Education", "Skills"
• No images, icons, or graphics
• All text selectable (no text-in-images)
• Standard fonts: Arial, Calibri, Georgia, or system sans-serif
• Font size: 10-12pt body, 14-16pt name
• Margins: 0.5-1 inch
• No headers/footers (ATS strips them)
• Max 2 pages

Step 5: Output

Write the HTML to data/resumes/{company-slug}-{role-slug}.html.

Show the user a preview of the content (not the HTML code):

## Resume Preview: {Name} - {Target Role} at {Company}

**Summary:** {first 2 lines}

**Experience:**
- {Role 1} at {Company} ({dates}) - {first bullet}
- {Role 2} at {Company} ({dates}) - {first bullet}

**Skills:** {top 10}

**Keywords matched:** {n}/20 from the JD

Step 6: PDF Instructions

"Your tailored resume is saved at data/resumes/{filename}.html.

To save as PDF:

1. Open the file in your browser (double-click it)
2. Press Cmd+P (Mac) or Ctrl+P (Windows)
3. Select Save as PDF
4. Done!

The HTML is designed to print cleanly. What you see is what you get."

Step 7: Update Tracker

Update the matching row in data/applications.md:

• Status: "Resume Ready" (if currently "Evaluated")
• Notes: append "Resume: {filename}"

Step 8: Next Steps

"Resume is ready! Next steps:

• Review it by opening the HTML file
• Apply by saying 'help me with the {company} application'
• Compare this role with others: 'compare my options'"
