Get back a resume rewritten to match the role as a PDF, plus a match score, what changed, the gaps and how to close them, emailed to you.\n\n### How it works\nThe config node holds the job description and your resume in Markdown (both prefilled with dummy demo values). A direct Anthropic call, keyed from the config node, rewrites the resume to fit the job into structured fields: it reframes and reorders your real experience, mirrors the job's terminology for applicant tracking systems, scores the fit, and lists what changed, matched keywords, honest gaps and suggestions to close them. The resume renders through one fixed template, converts to PDF, and is emailed to you with the details.\n\n### Setup\n- Config node: paste the job description and your resume, and add your Anthropic key, PDFShift key and delivery email.\n- Add Gmail on the send node.\n- Click Test workflow to run it.\n\n### Truthful by design\nThe model only reframes what is in your pasted resume and flags gaps rather than inventing employers, titles, metrics or skills. Always review the PDF before sending.\n\n### Customization\nEdit the CSS in the render node to match your style, save the PDF to Google Drive, or accept the resume from a file instead of paste.\n\nBuilt by **nocode.expert** \u2014 done-for-you automation and AI workflows. https://nocode.expert"
