Career Guide
One general resume is useful as a source of truth, but applications usually improve when the reader can quickly see the evidence most relevant to their role.
Keep a complete master resume
Store your full experience, projects, skills, certifications, and links in one master document. This prevents important evidence from being lost.
Duplicate for a target role
Create focused versions for roles such as software engineering, data analysis, marketing, or customer support. Reorder and edit only what is truthful and relevant.
Connect versions to applications
Record which version you used for each application. Over time, your tracker can show which positioning earns interviews and where your evidence needs work.
ResumeCraft lets you save tailored versions locally while keeping your master resume intact.
