Taylor Desseyn explains why tailoring your resume matters. Use a specific headline like "React / healthcare startups / Angular" instead of generic titles, and rewrite the top bullet of each job to match what the role actually needs.

I feel like that first page of your resume just needs to be absolutely dialed right now. Most summaries, my issue with them is they're this generic language that I say you could take your summary and put on the next applicant's resume and it wouldn't make a difference. Let's say I'm hiring for a React developer who also knows Angular and has worked in healthcare startup. If I open up your resume and there's this headline at the top of it that literally just says React slash healthcare startups, Slash Angular. I'm just like, oh, boom, you just hit me over the face with exactly what I need. And of course I'm gonna like dig in to see where I can find those things. But one of the best ways to tailor a resume is that headline, like I mentioned at the top, you can change what that headline says in seconds based on each job you apply to and just make sure your top bullet point for each job is the most important one for the job you're applying to.
