Most of the specific advice you hear which includes most of the advice on this thread will be contradicted by other specific advice if you ask around long enough. The more specific it is the more likely it will be contradicted.
Your resume will be torn down and built up by some self claimed expert only to be poo pooed and torn down and built in a completely different way by another so called expert. And none of them are wrong or right. Companies and hiring managers are as different as any other people and what works with one will not work with the other. Company A will prefer one thing and Company B will prefer the complete opposite.
So tips that you should lie or be honest in your interview. Painstakingly tailor applications or submit tons of them. Include a cover letter or don't are essentially coinflips.
The only truly universal job advice is basic common sense and a handful of general statistical facts. Don't sound like an asshole or complete moron in your resume. Be presentable in your interview. Avoid extremes. Pick whatever you feel like, when it comes to quantity or quality of applications. Just don't cut so many corners your tons of applications look like complete trash or spend 1 year applying for a single job. Networks are powerful.
AI flimflamery will irrevocably change many things about jobs whether we like it or not and the application process is one of them. Cranking out an AI generated resume in a few minutes generally beats a week of pointlessly handcrafting one. Even if its no more 'beautiful' than a handwritten resume which it often is its just going to go in the same arbitrary ATS system with thousands of other AI generated resumes judged by inscrutable and arbitrary AI systems to most likely be sent into the garbage can without a single human eye ever having read it for little to no reason. So might as well save the time. Yes in a way you are a fraud by subverting the application process and not showing your 'true' self but so are your fellow applicants and the employer you are trying to impress. Just be sure you double check and understand what you generate. Wouldn't want to be called up on the spot for a hallucinated reference or skills you don't actually have.
