Match your resume to a job post

This prompt compares your resume with a job post and finds the gaps. You paste both, and it gives a match score with reasons and the keywords from the post that are missing from your resume. Add only skills you really have.

Compare my resume with this job post and find the gaps.

Job post: [PASTE]
My resume: [PASTE]

Give me: 1) a match score with reasons, 2) keywords from the post that are missing from my resume, 3) 5 bullet rewrites that use those keywords honestly, 4) skills I lack and how to talk about them. Do not add experience I do not have.

Do this for every application. Applicant tracking systems look for the exact keywords.

What you will get

A match score with reasons, the keywords from the job post that are missing from your resume, five honest bullet rewrites that use them, and the skills you lack with advice on how to talk about them.

Common mistake

You are tempted to add every missing keyword, including skills you do not have.

Fix: Add only keywords you can back with a project or a task. Anything else goes in the gaps list, and you can say you are learning it.

Also watch for
  • The match score is treated like a pass mark. The score is the AI’s opinion, not what an applicant tracking system calculates. Use the reasons behind it, not the number.
  • The rewritten bullets are stuffed with keywords and read badly. Add “each bullet reads naturally, uses each keyword once and carries a real number”. A person reads it after the software does.
Try a variation: cover letter opening

Add “write a four-sentence cover letter opening that covers the three most important requirements in the post, using only my real experience”. The same analysis feeds your letter.

Still not right? Reply with this

Rewrite the five bullets so each reads naturally, uses one keyword once and keeps my real numbers. List any keyword I cannot honestly claim as a gap.
