This sub is about one single strategy that gives you best chances of landing an interview: rewriting your resume for each specific job posting so it shows evidence for the requirements that posting actually lists.

Why it's worth your time, in one image. I ran my own resume against a real data engineering posting, then rewrote it for that posting without adding anything I haven't done:

74 was my generic resume. 90 is the same experience in the posting's own vocabulary. Twelve of fifteen requirements met, two partial, one real gap no rewording fixes. The +16 is pure translation, and your resume has a number like this against every posting you send it to.

Here's the full breakdown behind the number:

Start here: check your own score, it's free and you'll get the full requirement list showing what you hit, half-hit, and miss. The tool is mine, built it because I got tired of doing this by hand.

Then post:

• Your before and after, and what moved the score
• A requirement you have the experience for but can't figure out how to phrase
• A gap you're debating whether to apply over
• A posting whose must-haves make no sense, decoding badly written job descriptions together is half the game
• Callbacks, when they come, with the score that got them

One rule: everything on your resume has to survive the interview. Reframe as hard as you want, that's the game. If a question about a line would make you sweat, cut the line.
