01
Organize the source material before generating a first draft
Do not begin with “write my resume.” First collect education, projects, internships, measurable outcomes, tools, and the target role in one source sheet, then distinguish verified facts from wording that still needs confirmation. AI can organize and rewrite this material without inventing experience.
WonderCV’s published generation, content-refinement, and template capabilities fit this pass. The goal is not a perfect one-page resume, but a complete structure where each experience explains what was done, how it was done, and what changed. Leave a placeholder when evidence is missing instead of adding impressive but unverifiable numbers.
02
Tailor the second pass to one target role
Choose one target role for the second pass. Break the job post into responsibilities, skills, domain language, and expected outcomes, then check each resume section for matching evidence. Tailoring is not keyword stuffing: the same project may change order for product, operations, or engineering roles, but the underlying facts must remain unchanged.
Prioritize the headline, summary, two most recent experiences, and skill order because these shape the first scan. Keep details that support the role and remove unsupported adjectives. Edit Chinese and English versions according to each language rather than treating machine translation as a final draft.
03
Run both machine and human checks before export
The machine check focuses on ATS parsing: use clear section headings, real text, and conventional date formats, and avoid placing essential information only in images, icons, or complex columns. WonderCV publicly documents ATS compatibility and PDF export, but recruiting systems differ, so copy the exported text or use a parser preview to confirm names, dates, and experience order.
The human check focuses on credibility and reading flow. Ask someone who knows your history to flag exaggeration, and someone unfamiliar with it to summarize your direction and strongest evidence after a short scan. Keep one complete master resume and a separate version for each role, with the name, role, and date in the filename.
