How applying works
Five steps, and only the last one is yours. Your history goes in once; after that every application is a posting in, a finished set of materials out.
1. One profile
You hand over a resume file, a few public links, or nothing at all and type it yourself. It comes back as a structured profile: roles, dates, achievements, education, projects, skills. You edit anything that reads wrong before it is used. Details in Building your profile.
2. One master resume
From that profile I write a resume: every bullet leads with the outcome, and nothing appears that your history does not support. This is the base every tailored version starts from, and you can keep several of them if you are applying for more than one kind of job. See Resumes and versions.
3. Queue the jobs
Paste a stack of links, or pick from the ranked feed of live openings on the matches screen. Either way the jobs land in one queue. A line like “Company - Role” works too when you do not have a link.
4. I tailor each one
For each posting I read the job description, reorder and rewrite your bullets against it, draft a cover letter that could only have been written for that company, and score the fit from 0 to 100 with a note on the strongest overlap and the clearest gap. See Tailoring, fit scores, and cover letters.
5. You send it
Copy the resume and letter into the company’s form, or download the PDF, and press submit yourself. Then mark it submitted and the pipeline tracks it from there. Auto-filing applications into other companies’ systems is deliberately not part of this: it breaks constantly, it violates most boards’ terms, and it produces the kind of volume that gets an applicant filtered rather than read.
