Tailoring Modes
Three depths. The mode changes how much is reconsidered, never how truthful it is.
Depth is a time decision, not a quality setting.
Fast
A light pass over phrasing and terms, in around fifteen seconds. For roles you are applying to on the strength of a quick read.
Balanced
Reworks bullets and sharpens outcomes across the document, in around thirty seconds. What most people use most of the time.
Deep
Reviews the whole resume as a recruiter would — order, weight, what to cut — and explains each recommendation. A minute or two.
Before
Deep mode on all eight roles you saved this week.
After
Fast on the six you are exploring, Deep on the two you want.
Deep is not better in general, it is more thorough. Spending it on exploratory applications costs you time you could have spent preparing for the roles you actually care about.
Do this before moving on
Next time you tailor, run Fast first and read the output. If it already says what you need, you have saved yourself the wait.
