CV and job description gap check

A job advert tells you what it wants in its own words. This shows you which of those words are nowhere in your CV, so you can decide — honestly — whether that is a gap in the document or a gap in your experience.

Nothing you paste leaves this page. The comparison runs in your browser. There is no upload, no server call and nothing saved — close the tab and it is gone. You can check: open your browser's network tab and watch it stay empty while you type.

How to use the result without making your CV worse

  1. Go through the missing terms and split them in two: things you have actually done, and things you have not. Only the first group is a CV problem.
  2. For each one you have done, find the bullet point where it already happened and rewrite that bullet to name it — with the result attached. “Rebuilt the nightly load in Airflow, cutting the run from 6 hours to 40 minutes” beats a skills list containing the word Airflow.
  3. For the ones you have not done, leave them out. If several of them are the advert's core requirements, that is the tool doing its job: this is not your job yet, and the honest move is to find the gap and close it rather than to word around it.
  4. Never paste the advert's terms into a hidden block of white text. Recruiters find it, and it ends the application.

A CV only has to get you to the conversation. The career guides cover what each role is screened for and what happens in the rounds after; the roadmaps are for closing a gap this tool finds that is real rather than editorial.
