2. **Keyword Optimization**
   - Extract required and preferred keywords from job description
   - Identify matching keywords already in the resume
   - Suggest natural placement for missing keywords
   - Prioritize hard skills over soft skills in keyword matching

   - Consolidate weak bullets into stronger combined statements

   - Ensure proper section ordering for experience level

   - Remove photos, graphics, and non-standard characters

5. **Cover Letter Generation**
   - Match tone to company culture (startup casual vs enterprise formal)
