Tailor a resume to a job description
Tailoring should change the lines the posting asks about and leave the rest alone. Below is one real run: the posting, the 4 lines that changed out of 13, and the phrase from the posting behind each edit.

Sample export — fictional candidate
This is output from the Crush Job desktop app for a fictional candidate, Grant Killian, against a sample posting at a fictional company, Meridian Software. It is not a real person or a real opening. The model's reply in this run was a stored test reply rather than a live call; the checks and the before-and-after view are the app's own.

Every edit names its source.
Rezi Ninja only keeps a rewrite if it can point to a phrase that is really in the posting. If the phrase it names is not in the posting, or there is none, the app puts your original line back.
In the summary there is a second check: a rewrite that brings in a capitalized term your original line did not have, such as a tool, company or product name, is thrown out the same way. The edits above are what survived those checks.
