Tailor a resume in Claude

Stop rewriting the same CV for every posting. Keep one profile, see the gaps against a specific job, and get a Word resume and cover letter out of chat.

Claude rewrites CVs well, but it forgets your profile between chats. With the Resume server, Claude stores your profile once, shows the gaps against each job post and writes the resume and cover letter as Word files. The gap analysis changes nothing.

Without a tool, and with the tool

Without a tool

Claude is good at rewriting a CV for a job post you paste. It doesn't keep your profile between chats, so you paste the CV every time, and in most chat apps it gives you text, not a .docx you can send.

With Resume

Resume stores one CV profile, reads an existing .docx resume into it, runs a read-only gap analysis against a job posting, and writes the resume and cover letter as .docx files, or as HTML and markdown.

Here is a posting for Clinical Product Specialist. What in my profile matches, what's missing? Then write a cover letter .docx for it.

  3. cover_letter_create Writes a one-page cover letter .docx

Common mistakes with this job

  • Sending one generic CV to every job.
  • Adding skills you don't have to match keywords. Interviews expose it.
  • Fancy layouts with tables and columns that some applicant tracking systems read badly.
