Before you apply, use 4 prompts to match your resume to the job
Give AI the job post and your resume: find missing keywords, rewrite weak lines, write a three-line intro, then have it play interviewer one question at a time. Never let it invent experience.
Start step 1 ↓The problem
Sending the same resume to every job often gets it screened out at first glance, and when you edit it yourself you're not sure what the job really cares about. Ask AI to "fix my resume" and it readily adds things you never did.

Check four things before you send
The author's four rules: never add anything you didn't do, because interviewers ask about every line; read every word, because AI is confidently wrong; delete your phone and address first; finally edit it once more in your own voice.
