: Re: What tool will help me track sentences and paragraphs in resumes and cover letters so I can use this database to tailor new ones? I'm tailoring my resume over and over to highlight my experiences

Personally I use an Excel workbook; the individual spreadsheets hold certain thematically divided elements like opening sentences, skills, personal qualities, relevant experience, etc... Within those spreadsheets there are further divisions based on the type of job I'm applying for, so a block of skill-sentences for desk jobs, a block for workshop positions etc... Creating a given resume or cover letter is then a fairly simple matter of looking at the job description and selecting the sentences to copy and paste into a Word document, or similar, that has the set elements of name, address, signature etc... and editing a little to get the "fit" smoothed out. I then save the finished work as a PDF if I'm using it online or just print it out for a hard copy.
