How it works

  1. Upload your resume.
  2. Paste the vacancy.
  3. 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.
