Best Practices
- Always start with job analysis before tailoring - don't waste effort on poor-fit roles
- Use specialized skills for specific needs - don't force generic tailoring when executive/academic/tech optimizations exist
- Chain skills intelligently - run ATS check after tailoring, not before
- Preserve user's voice - enhancement skills should improve, not rewrite, the user's experience
- Validate before delivering - always run ATS check and format verification on final output
- Track versions - use resume-version-manager to avoid confusion when applying to multiple roles
