Question 1

How do I match my resume to a job description?

Accepted Answer

Compare the keywords the job description emphasizes against the terms in your resume. A match checker shows the overlap as a percentage and lists which required keywords are missing. Add a missing keyword only where your real experience supports it — an unbacked skill fails at the interview even if it passes the ATS.

Question 2

What is a good resume-to-job-description match percentage?

Accepted Answer

There is no universal threshold, because every ATS weights terms differently. A higher overlap of genuinely-supported keywords is better, but keyword match is only one input — recruiters still read for evidence and impact. Treat the percentage as a gap finder, not a guarantee.
