Your résumé carries the evidence. The cover letter is optional.
The tailored résumé is the deliverable — the evidence a recruiter needs, surfaced for this role. Fewer postings ask for a letter now, so ApplyFit writes one only when you ask.

Experienced resumes get trimmed, not padded. Lower-signal lines come off first so the evidence that matters for the role stays in front.
Every reframed line traces back to something you actually did, so you can speak to all of it when someone asks.
