Resume tailoring
Tailor your resume to every job description, without making things up
Recruiters spend seconds on a resume. A tailored one puts the work they care about first. Doing that by hand for every job eats hours each week. Orin does it for each job you apply to, and it only uses what is already true in your resume.
What changes
What gets tailored for each job.
- Headline
A one-line title that matches the role, like “Backend engineer, payments and Go” for a payments job.
- Summary
Two or three sentences that lead with the experience this job asks for.
- Bullet order
In each role, the bullets that match the job move to the top.
- Skills order
The skills the job lists come first, so they are seen in the first few seconds.
- Cover letter
A short letter of 150 to 220 words for that company and role, based on your real work.
The rule
Tailored, not invented.
Many AI resume tools stuff in keywords you do not have. That falls apart in the first interview. Here is how this one stays honest.
- Bullets and skills can only come from your base resume. New ones are thrown out.
- You see a list of what changed before anything is sent.
- You can edit the headline, summary, every bullet, the skills and the cover letter.
- Your base resume stays the same. Each job gets its own copy.
Doing it yourself
How to tailor a resume by hand.
If you want to tailor one resume yourself, this is the method recruiters respond to.
- Mark the must-haves
Read the job description and underline the skills and duties it repeats. Those matter most.
- Match your bullets
Find your bullets that show those skills and move them to the top of each role.
- Use their words
If they say “distributed systems” and you wrote “backend services”, use their term, as long as it is true.
- Rewrite the top
Change your headline and summary so the first lines fit this role.
- Cut what does not help
Drop old or unrelated details so the resume stays on one or two pages.
Questions.
What does it mean to tailor a resume?
It means changing your resume for one job so the most relevant skills and results are easy to find. You keep the same facts and change the order, the wording and the summary.
Should I tailor my resume for every job?
Yes, if you can. A tailored resume matches what the recruiter and the screening software look for. The problem is time, which is why tools like this exist.
Will the AI add skills I do not have?
No. Orin can only reorder and reword what is already in your resume. Anything new is dropped before you see it. Only you can add new facts, by editing the resume yourself.
Can I tailor my resume for free?
Tailoring comes with every Orin plan, for every job you apply to. Plans start at $39 a month, or $19 a month billed yearly. The first mock interview is free.
Will Orin send an application I did not approve?
No. Nothing goes out until you approve that one job. By default you also check the tailored resume and cover letter before it is sent, and you can edit any line. Legal agreements on a form are always left for you.
