Understanding Base Resumes

Understand what a Base Resume is, why it matters, and how it powers AI tailoring in Letraz.

What is a Base Resume

A Base Resume is your master version : a single, complete record of all your qualifications, experience, and achievements.
Instead of rewriting your resume every time, you update this one base version and let Letraz create tailored versions from it.


Why It’s Important

  • Saves time by keeping your details ready for any job.

  • Ensures consistency across all versions.

  • Helps Letraz’s AI generate accurate tailored resumes.

  • Keeps your resume content structured and easy to update.
