Resume Keyword and Match Audit Against a Job Description

Compare your resume with a job advert honestly.

Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).

Compare my resume with a job advert. The advert: [JOB_ADVERT]. My resume text: [RESUME_TEXT]. Experience I have that is not on the resume: [EXTRA_EXPERIENCE].

List the skills, tools, responsibilities and qualifications in the advert, grouped by essential and desirable. For each, check the resume for evidence (exact wording, similar wording, or none). Make a table with Requirement, Resume evidence, Match (strong, partial, none), and Suggested edit using only truthful experience. Calculate the share of essential requirements with strong or partial evidence with the arithmetic. Identify missing terms I can legitimately add because I have the experience, and gaps I should address in a cover letter or not claim. Suggest the order of sections and a headline.

Do not add skills I do not have or keyword-stuff. Mark the reliability of automated screening claims as unknown [VERIFY].

Add a worked match table with five invented requirements (stakeholder reporting: strong; SQL: partial, I used it in a course; budgeting: none; process improvement: strong; project coordination: partial) and the share of essentials with some evidence (4 of 5, 80 percent). Show how to describe the SQL experience truthfully and what to say about the budgeting gap in a cover letter.
