Resume vs Job Description
Compare your resume to the job description before you apply.
Applying without comparing is guessing. This free check reads the posting, extracts the requirements that actually carry weight, and reports which ones your resume proves, which ones it merely mentions, and which ones are absent.
- • Requirement-by-requirement match, not a vague overall grade.
- • Separates keywords you prove in a bullet from keywords you only list.
- • Suggests the section and phrasing for every gap.
- • Re-check after edits to confirm the score actually moved.
- • Works for any role, any industry, any country.
Read the posting the way the filter does
Requirements listed first and repeated later are weighted highest. Mirror that order in your resume.
Distinguish must-have from nice-to-have. Missing two nice-to-haves is normal; missing a must-have is why you were skipped.
Copy the employer's exact noun. If they write 'Power BI', do not write 'PowerBI' or 'BI dashboards'.
Where to place each missing keyword
Core role skills belong in the headline and summary as well as a bullet.
Tools belong in the bullet describing the work you did with them, plus the skills line.
Certifications and clearances get their own section so the parser finds them as a discrete field.
Never add a skill you cannot discuss in an interview. The score is not the goal; the interview is.
Frequently asked questions
Aim to cover every must-have requirement honestly and mirror the posting's wording. A perfect 100 match usually means keyword stuffing, which reads badly to humans.
No. Keep a master resume and change the headline, summary, and top three bullets per posting.
