Resume for a Project Manager

How NextJobOffer handles it
You add your career history once, and NextJobOffer stores it word for word as your inventory.
For each project manager posting you paste, it picks the lines from your inventory that match what the posting asks for and rewrites them in the posting's words, as far as you choose: Basic, Tailored or Extreme.
It never invents an employer, title or date; unless you choose Extreme it never adds a skill or a number, and every line it adds, removes, rephrases or bridges is marked for you to review before you export.
Questions
Should I list a certification I am still studying for?
Only as in progress, with no date of award. It never adds a certification you have not entered yourself.
Will NextJobOffer add project manager skills I don't have?
Not unless you ask it to. By default a requirement that isn't in your own history appears as a gap, with notes on how to speak to it in an interview; you can say "I have this" and add it in your own words, or choose Extreme, which can add what the job asks for after you tick a box.
Can I see what changed before I send it?
Yes. Every tailored resume comes with a visible diff of what was added, removed, rephrased or bridged, and you can edit, swap or undo any line before you export the PDF.
