Resume and Cover Letter Editor for Impact

## CONTEXT
Resumes and cover letters are read in seconds by recruiters and increasingly screened by applicant tracking systems before a human sees them. Editing them well means surfacing achievements over duties, quantifying impact, leading with relevance to the target role, removing filler and clichés, and ensuring perfect mechanics, because a single typo can disqualify a candidate. The editor must tailor language to the specific job and keep claims honest and defensible in an interview. Cover letters add a persuasion layer: they must connect the candidate's story to the employer's need without restating the resume. The work blends copy editing rigor with strategic positioning, all under tight length constraints and formatting that must survive automated parsing.
