JD-targeted rewrite: aim real experience at the role
The same experience sinks or swims on how it's written. Paste a few of your resume bullets plus the target job description, and PolishCat rewrites them with more impact using the employer's wording — under one hard rule: it only rephrases what is genuinely true of you, and never invents experience, titles, numbers or employers. Snippets are sent to a no-retention backend, used once and discarded — never stored or used for training.
Resume tailoring means re-expressing your real experience in the target job description's wording and action verbs, so a recruiter instantly sees you fit the role. It is not inventing a different history per job — it's saying the same true thing in more role-relevant terms (e.g. turning 'responsible for growth' into the JD's 'ran acquisition experiments that cut CAC by X%'). Should you tailor for every job? Tailor for every role worth applying to — a generic resume blasted everywhere has the lowest hit rate. One bottom line: only rewrite what you genuinely have; recruiters and interviews both detect padding. PolishCat sends only the snippet you paste to a no-retention backend, processes it once, and discards it — no database, no training.
Rephrases ONLY the real experience you provide — never invents experience, titles, numbers or employers. Double-check every line is true before you use it.

Why use PolishCat's JD-Targeted Rewrite?
- No fabrication, just rewriting: a hard rule keeps the AI reorganizing only the real content you provide — it won't invent experience, titles or numbers. Recruiters can spot AI padding; honesty is the durable play.
- Say your story in their words: turn vague lines like “responsible for growth” into the concrete skills and action verbs the JD uses — so real ability gets read.
- No retention: only the snippet you submit is sent; the backend processes it and discards it — no database, no training.
Frequently asked questions
No — that's a hard constraint. The AI only reorganizes and aligns the real content you provide; it won't invent experience, employers, titles, dates or numbers. Verify every line is true before using it — both for integrity and because recruiters detect padded resumes.
No. Only the snippet you paste is sent for a single rewrite, then discarded — no database, no logging of content, no training use.
Yes. Without a JD it just makes the wording clearer and stronger (still no fabrication); with a JD it additionally aligns to the role's wording for a tighter match.
Tailor a version for every role worth applying to. One generic resume blasted everywhere usually has the lowest hit rate, because each JD cares about different keywords and emphasis. Tailoring isn't rewriting from scratch — it's adjusting wording, surfacing your most relevant experience, and describing the same true work in the employer's terms. Spending effort on the few roles you actually want beats mass-sending a hundred generic resumes.
Recruiters don't object to 'you used AI' — they object to AI padding: flowery, generic content that doesn't match how you perform in an interview. PolishCat's rewrite is hard-constrained to reorganize only the real experience you provide, with no fabrication, and it keeps your own voice. Always read it through and make it sound like you. A resume that's factually sound and reads as yours is fine whether or not a tool helped; what actually backfires is invented content that collapses under one interview question.
