How to tailor a resume to a job description with AI

To tailor a resume to a job description with AI, open the automatic tailoring flow and add the complete vacancy. Tailoring should change emphasis and wording, not your history. Every claim in the tailored resume and cover letter must remain traceable to your real experience.

1. Add the job description and confirm the target

Paste the complete posting in the automatic flow and confirm the role and company. Before an application is used, review any factual requirement that the system cannot safely infer, such as a qualification or years of experience. Acknowledge that these remain gaps unless they are genuinely part of your experience.

Correct the resume or posting first if either is wrong. If you used the optional public comparison, Boost My Resume can carry the same target into the tailoring flow so you do not paste it again.

2. Start one complete application

Create a free account when asked so the application can be saved. One application produces a tailored resume and a matching cover letter. It is not a separate cover-letter purchase or a second application credit.

During processing, leave the page if you need to. The saved application continues without requiring you to keep a promotional waiting screen open.

3. Review the tailored resume, cover letter and match analysis

Read the result as an editor, not as a spectator:

• compare rewritten bullets with their source facts;
• compare the new match analysis with the starting score and open the evidence behind every changed requirement;
• remove any wording that overstates ownership or impact;
• confirm dates, tools, numbers and proper names;
• check that the cover letter uses the same supported evidence;
• edit the output before exporting.

4. Export when the application is ready

Your eligible free-account preview remains available on screen. Exporting the AI-tailored resume, opening the full cover letter as a file or downloading the application bundle requires the one-time 3-day pass, an active subscription or retained legacy entitlement. Your manually edited resume remains free to export as PDF or supported Word.
