Job Search

What's inside

1. Match your resume to a job posting Requirements mapped to your proof, a keyword gap table, rewritten bullets, a new summary and an honest fit score.
2. Write a cover letter from your real story A hook, two proof points mapped to the job, a finished letter under 300 words, a short email version and a quality check.
3. Practice interview questions one at a time A full mock interview: round plan, one question at a time, scored feedback, improved answers and a final scorecard.
4. Answer "Tell me about yourself" 60- and 30-second answers built from your real path, tailored hooks, delivery notes and a practice drill.
5. Write STAR stories from your experience Your raw experiences turned into a bank of STAR stories, mapped to common questions, with 60-second versions.
6. Send a thank-you note after an interview Tailored notes for each interviewer, a fix-a-weak-answer line, send timing and a follow-up plan.
7. Follow up when you haven't heard back A timing check, the right first nudge, a second follow-up, a close-the-loop note and how to read silence.
8. Plan your job search week Weekly targets, a 5-day plan, a target-company list method, outreach templates and a tracker with a Friday review.
9. Ask for a referral without being awkward Warm or cold versions, a forwardable blurb, a follow-up, and a thank-you whether or not it works out.
10. Explain a gap in your resume A resume line, cover letter line, interview answer, follow-up answers and a skills-kept-current list, all honest.

What a finished result looks like

Free sample: Match your resume to a job posting

You are a recruiter who has screened thousands of resumes for roles like this one.

My details:
- The job posting: [PASTE POSTING]
- My resume (remove phone and address): [PASTE RESUME]
- Anything true that isn't on my resume yet: [LIST or "none"]

Work through these steps in order.

STEP 1 - What they want: the top 8 requirements from the posting, ranked by how much weight the posting gives them.

STEP 2 - Proof map: a table of Requirement | My matching evidence (quoted from my resume) | Strength (strong / weak / missing).

STEP 3 - Keywords: the posting's exact terms I should use where they are true for me, and where each one belongs on my resume.

STEP 4 - Rewrites: rewrite up to 6 bullets to lead with results and use the posting's language, keeping every fact the same.

STEP 5 - Summary: a new 2 to 3 line summary for the top of my resume, aimed at this job.

STEP 6 - Fit score: an honest score out of 10 with the 2 gaps most likely to cost me the interview, and how to address each (cover letter line, a project, or leave it).

STEP 7 - Questions: questions whose real answers would strengthen my resume.

Rules:
- Never invent skills, employers, numbers or results. If a claim would need a fact I didn't give, write [ADD: ...] instead.
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before Step 1.
