CV vs job description match — should you apply?
Paste a job description. CareerGru tells you what is evidenced, what is missing, and whether to apply, apply with prep, or hold. JD match is 10 credits after you sign in.
Common questions
- What does apply with prep mean?
- You have enough coverage to apply, but at least one important gap remains. Close it with real evidence or expect it in the interview. It is not a soft “apply anyway.”
- Should I use AI to write my resume?
- Use AI to reorder and reword what is already true. Do not let it invent tools, seniority, or metrics. Honest Tailor only writes facts you confirm; Quick tailor is labelled unverified.
- Does putting skills in a table break ATS?
- Often yes. Tables and multi-column skill grids can shuffle token order. A simple comma-separated Skills line plus bullets that prove the skill is safer.
- Will matching a JD invent keywords I do not have?
- No. Matched terms need evidence on the CV. Missing terms stay missing until you confirm them in the interview — or you skip and take the unverified path.
