Use job-fit-analysis

Compare a job posting with a resume and say honestly whether to apply

Compare a job posting with a resume and say honestly whether to apply: each requirement marked met, partly met, not shown or not met, with the resume line it rests on; the requirements an employer screens on listed first; and the questions whose answers would change the picture. Works for any occupation and level.

Reach for it when the user asks "am I a good fit for this job", "should I apply for this", "how does my resume match this posting", or wants the gaps between a job description and their CV before applying.

Install it

npx skilldrop-cli install job-fit-analysis                 # Claude Code, your user folder
npx skilldrop-cli install job-fit-analysis --project       # Claude Code, this repo
npx skilldrop-cli install job-fit-analysis --ide cursor    # or kiro, codex, antigravity, copilot

It is part of the Job applications pack: --pack career installs it with its neighbours.

Ask for it

Say it the way you would to a colleague. Requests like these route to it:

• "Am I a good fit for this job? Here's the posting and my resume"
• "Should I apply for this role or is it a stretch?"
• "What's missing from my CV for this job description?"
• "Compare my resume against these three postings and tell me which to go for"

Requests like these belong to a different skill, so it shouldn't answer them:

• "Tailor my resume to this job posting"
• "Write a cover letter for this role"
• "Critique my resume, it's not for any particular job"

If another skill answers instead, ask for this one by name: "use job-fit-analysis".

Check what you get

A good result:

• Every Met and Partly quotes the resume. A status with no line behind it is a guess.
• What could get the application rejected is named first, never left as one row among many.
• No length of time appears that the resume's own dates don't give.
• Not shown and Not met are kept apart. One is a question, the other is a gap.
• Nothing is credited that the resume or the person doesn't state.
• The verdict matches the table. An unmet required degree cannot sit under "strong match", and a verdict that names one gap cannot sit over a table that shows four.

Use something else when

• Sorting a long list of openings into which to apply for. Use role-shortlist, then come back for the first choice.
• Rewriting the resume for the posting. Use resume-tailor.
• Writing the cover letter. Use cover-letter.
• Critiquing the resume as a document, with no job in mind. Use doc-critique.

Where a loop runs it

• Stage fit of the apply loop, where gate G6 decides
