Match Your Resume to a Job Description
See your fit before you hit Apply
Want to know how closely your resume fits a specific role before you hit Apply? Use our resume-to-job matching tool to compare your resume against the job description, highlight missing requirements, and improve the parts that matter most.
How it works
- Upload your resume.
- Paste the vacancy.
- Review your match score, missing skills, and suggested edits.
Before / after example
Before: A resume for a marketing role includes “content creation, email campaigns, analytics.” The job description asks for “SEO, lifecycle marketing, A/B testing, CRM reporting.”
After: We suggest where to naturally add missing terms and how to strengthen bullet points with measurable results.
Common mistakes
- Overusing vague language like “helped” or “supported”
- Missing exact role terminology
- Listing tools without showing impact
- Ignoring must-have qualifications from the job ad
Indeed specifically recommends aligning your resume with the job description to improve ATS compatibility and relevance.
FAQ
