A résumé build assembles a targeted résumé from your Career History — selected, sequenced, and written for the specific role, through your Lens.
The build doesn't start from a template. It starts from your evidence — the actual things you did, delivered, led, and built — and selects what covers the job's demands most effectively. Evidence that's directly relevant gets weighted toward the top. Evidence that's adjacent gets framed toward the job where it transfers. Evidence that's irrelevant for this application doesn't appear.
Sequencing is driven by the Job Read, not by chronology alone. A purely reverse-chronological résumé puts your most recent role first regardless of whether it's your most relevant one for a given application. ArcLens builds sequence around what the job actually needs to see — sometimes that aligns with recency, sometimes it doesn't.
The output reads like a person wrote it because the source material came from a person. ArcLens doesn't generate accomplishments — it surfaces and shapes yours. The voice pass at the end of the pipeline checks consistency and reads, so the final document sounds like you wrote it deliberately for this role, not like an algorithm assembled it from parts.
A build consumes one build token. Once consumed, the build is cached — you can export the same build in multiple formats (PDF, Word) without consuming additional tokens. Minor text edits to the output don't consume a new token. Starting over with a meaningfully different selection or structure does.
Before you commit a build, review the Gap Check output. The build will work around gaps it can't fill — it won't fabricate evidence that isn't in your Career History, and it won't pad thin sections with vague language. A build that goes to market with a real gap will have that gap in the résumé. The Gap Check exists so that gap is your informed decision, not a surprise.
After a build, you get a document and a build trace — a summary of what was selected, what was set aside, and why. The trace is useful for interview prep: it shows you which evidence ArcLens weighted most heavily, which is usually what a hiring manager will focus on if they read the résumé carefully.

Job duties, not impact · Westbrook · bullet 1
This is the posting — “handle planning, scheduling, and communication… manage 2 deployments a month.” The scale (400+ teams, a standing release cadence) is the impact; the wording files it as caretaking.
Suggested: Built the program office that runs database release management for 400+ application teams — planning, scheduling, and communication behind a standing cadence of 24 midrange deployments and 2 mainframe upgrades a year.
Nothing invented — the 400 teams and the cadence come from your bullet. The rewrite changes the altitude, not the facts.

Ends where the outcome should start · Halvorsen · bullet 1
“…to influence and effect change to achieve estimation goals” — the sentence stops at the duty. What the Center of Excellence became is the story.
Suggested: Established the IT Estimating Center of Excellence recognized by Gartner as world-class — three global centers providing stage-gated estimates for every development project.
The Gartner recognition and the three centers come from your work history — pulled forward, not made up.
