inA recruiter in Austin let slip that 75% of resumes get tossed before a human ever sees them, and I had no idea it was that brutal
The thing about copying their exact words is that it gets you past the software but can make your resume read like everyone else's, which matters later when a real person does look at it. Mixing their phrasing with your own numbers and results gives you both the match and something that stands out. So use their words where it fits, but keep your actual story in there too.

inI used to round every purchase up in my head and call it budgeting, then I added up 3 months of receipts
Stopped rounding after my wife found $300 in change jars I forgot about.

inStuck a fridge in a Chicago basement for 4 days and a $9 fan fixed the frost
This kind of thing shows up all over the place. People jump straight to replacing parts because that feels like real work, when the actual problem is something dumb and simple like air not moving right. Same reason a $2 fuse saves a $400 control board, or why reseating a loose ground wire fixes half the electrical gremlins in an old house. A fan just moves air and stops one cold spot from pooling moisture, which is all that frost ever is. Most techs skip the cheap fix because it does not feel like they did anything, but the fridge does not care how fancy the answer is. Nine bucks and four days beats a new thermistor you did not need.
