  • Click Tailor Resume to open the Resume Builder page. Careerflow.ai analyzes the job description and provides recommended improvements to better match the role.

Step 5: Navigate through One-click Optimizer

  • Once you enter the resume editor for a job-tailored resume, the one-click optimizer will automatically activate.

  • Select keywords that you want to include and exclude.

  • Scan the suggestions, and you can choose whether you will accept, reject, or edit the suggestions.

  • Accept the suggestions to proceed.

Step 6: Optimize Based on Skill Score and Analysis

  • Review your skill score and resume analysis. Use available tools to refine your resume efficiently, including:

    • Write with AI

    • AI Assistant
