How to improve JD match
JD match improves when your resume provides clear evidence for what the job is asking. The goal isn’t to copy the posting — it’s to make your relevant experience obvious.
A simple workflow
Pull out responsibilities, required skills, and domain context. Group them into 6–10 “requirements” you can map to evidence.
For each requirement, point to 1–2 bullets that demonstrate it. If you can’t find proof, that’s a real gap.
Use the same language as the JD where it’s accurate, but keep it natural. Recruiters should instantly see the match.
Add a project, a measurable example, or a short skills+proof bullet to cover missing requirements. Avoid fake experience.
Common mistakes
- • Keyword stuffing with no evidence in bullets
- • Editing titles but not aligning responsibilities/outcomes
- • Listing tools without describing how you used them
- • Ignoring domain signals (payments, infra, healthcare, etc.)
If the JD says “own end-to-end delivery”, your resume should show end-to-end ownership: requirements → design → implementation → launch → measurable outcomes.
