JD VS ResumeResume matching

5 ways to improve your resume match score before applying

Guide · ~5 min read

Your match score reflects how well your resume covers the JD's requirements. Here are five concrete edits that raise it without fabricating experience.

  1. Add missing required skills to the skills section. Use the JD's exact phrasing, not synonyms.
  2. Weave missing keywords into existing bullets. One natural mention per bullet is enough for ATS.
  3. Rewrite weak verbs to match JD seniority. "Assisted" becomes "Led" or "Owned" when that is truthful.
  4. Reorder bullets by JD relevance. Put the most JD-aligned bullets first in each role.
  5. Trim irrelevant content. Remove skills and bullets that do not relate to this specific posting.
