Do not recommend. Some recruiters know how to sniff this out. Don’t want this popping up when you’re in the interview stage and then you’re disqualified.

Rather, take the time to weave the job description into your resume. Achieves the same result.

Edit: some folks recommending using ChatGPT to tailor your resume. that can be hit-or-miss, but agreed. definitely leverage AI
