Do all of you actually cater your resume differently for each job you apply to?

Yes. Just think about the math - it takes 10min to tailor a resume. If you get an interview it will probably take you 20 hours to prepare and do the actual interview

No and I got offers from all B4 during COVID lol. But I did just get reached out to by an Apple recruiter, and since thats a very interesting position for me, I changed like 10 words total to better match the job posting I was given.

I should note that I’m highly technically skilled in niche areas so maybe I’m just highly privileged too.

Heck no, I focus on connecting with people at the company in question, so I can bypass the resume black hole.
