Intent: Low competition phrase with technical appeal
Why multiple resume files become chaos
resume-final.docx, resume-final-v2.docx, resume-final-v3-really-final.docx is a symptom of a broken system, not a productivity hack.
The Git analogy
- Main branch: your canonical career database
- Feature branches: role-specific resume variants
- Commits: measurable achievement updates over time
Single source of truth + controlled variations
Keep canonical entries for each experience, then emphasize different accomplishments depending on role requirements.
Practical outcome
You spend less time searching old files and more time refining high-impact bullets for current opportunities.
Next steps
Treat your resume like code in ReuseMe: one source of truth with controlled variations.
