RESUME TAILORING REVIEW CHECKLIST
NextGoodRole · Updated 2026-07-22

Before changing the resume
[ ] Confirm that the role is worth the tailoring effort.
[ ] Separate true requirements from preferences and unclear language.
[ ] Check location, timezone, entity, and work-authorization constraints yourself.

Map evidence before drafting
[ ] Link every proposed change to a verified fact from your work history.
[ ] Keep unsupported requirements visible as gaps.
[ ] Do not add tools, outcomes, responsibilities, or metrics you cannot verify.

Review AI-assisted wording
[ ] Preserve the meaning and scope of the original evidence.
[ ] Reject generic superlatives and invented confidence.
[ ] Check that technical terms match what you actually used.
[ ] Read the changed bullet aloud and make sure it still sounds like you.

Before using the resume
[ ] Confirm dates, employers, titles, links, and contact information.
[ ] Check formatting in the exported PDF.
[ ] Save the job description and the reason for each material change.
[ ] Submit the application yourself only after reviewing the complete packet.

This checklist supports review. It does not predict interviews, determine legal eligibility,
contact an employer, or submit an application.
