Genuine ask, if everyone keeps tailoring their resume for each specific role, how does one stand out without seeming disingenuous?

[Timi Lawal @TimiOLawal]

As an overthinker or someone who has struggled with articulation in key moments, how have you gotten better at communicating overtime?

[Timi Lawal @TimiOLawal]

If tailoring your resume is the benchmark, how you tell your story and communicate your value with specificity of evidence is highly important. Simply put it this way. Pass the machine, convince the human.

[AliceTheTechyChef @thetechychef]

Tailoring your resume is not about becoming a different person for every application.

It’s about highlighting the parts of your experience that are most relevant to the role you’re applying for.

The mistake people make is thinking tailoring means inventing skills or experiences.

It simply means making it easier for recruiters to connect your existing experience to the problem they’re trying to solve.

What makes you stand out is not having a completely different resume from everyone else, it’s showing measurable results.

@TimiOLawal Portfolio. Show you can actually do the work.

@TimiOLawal For me?
I dont tailor all my c.v for different jobs

But i make sure, I find the jobs that fits my c.v

The job that incase they call me for interviews, I would have at least 70% confidence

[Timi Lawal @TimiOLawal]

@Darty0ur That’s top-tier reverse engineering but what if your experience spans across industries and roles that are not quite similar?

[Timi Lawal @TimiOLawal]

@Bright_Abo9gye Might seem that way but how badly do you want it given it’s pretty standard procedure today 🫩🫩

@TimiOLawal Run a pet project relating to the roles you applying for. Then add it to your application.

[Timi Lawal @TimiOLawal]

@siggy_hug I love the idea of having a project portfolio. It communicates potential value, even though perceived value can be relative sometimes.

[Timi Lawal @TimiOLawal]

@its_Teee_jay Love it 😄. Call it grace and favour 🙏🏽

[sam @sam_dreal]

@TimiOLawal I understand highlighting relevant experience, but sometimes it feels like people are expected to reshape themselves entirely for every application. Where’s the balance between tailoring and authenticity?

[Timi Lawal @TimiOLawal]

@Xeke Software references might be a classic example. “Do you or do you not have experience using this tool?” Stating otherwise feels off, especially in a technical role.

[Timi Lawal @TimiOLawal]

@Xeke I also think there’s a thin line between paraphrasing and straight-up fabrication that many people fall into.
