I used to apply with the exact same resume to every job.
The response rate was terrible.
Now I tailor my resume to each job by:
Copying the job description
Identifying keywords
Updating my summary and bullet points
Matching skills to the role
The process takes around 15 minutes but works much better.

Copy the job description
Highlight the most important keywords
Update my summary and bullet points

Export and apply
The whole process takes around 15 minutes.
What part of resume tailoring do you find most difficult?
