• Base Resumes: This is the foundational version of a student’s resume, typically used for general applications.
• Tailored Resumes: These are customized versions of the base resume, tailored to specific jobs or industries.

Tracking the number of base and tailored resumes gives career advisors insight into how well students are preparing for specific job roles and whether they are taking the necessary steps to tailor their resumes to different employers.
