How do you keep a master resume and see what changed?

Keep a master in Documents, then a Job Based Resume per posting. Enhanced Experience Points shows strikethrough, green rewrite, and New content.

How do you rewrite bullets for one job?

Keep the truth. Change three to five bullets so each has one proof and this posting's language. A task list is not a match.

You mark Applied yourself and set a follow-up date. Quiet cards stay Applied until you close them. FluxResume does not auto-status from Gmail.

Personal device and personal email, references from previous roles, confidentiality asked for in writing, and interviews grouped into few absences.
