Tailor Résumé to a Posting

Adapt an EXISTING résumé to a specific job posting — a fit map of must-hit requirements first, then a tailored variant that re-orders and re-words real experience without inventing any. Distinct from building a résumé from scratch (see Résumé / CV): this book starts from a base résumé plus a posting and produces the targeted variant along with honest gap notes for the cover letter and interview. Use per serious application in a job search.
