Resume & Job Match Checklist

Compare your resume with a job description free locally. Review keyword coverage, common sections and quantified examples using a checklist rather than an employer ATS score.

How to use

  1. Paste resume and job-post text, or load a TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or text-based PDF resume.
  2. Optionally provide must-have terms you have verified; otherwise candidate terms are extracted from the job post.
  3. Review the checklist and only add terms that truthfully match your experience.

Try an example

If a role mentions SQL and project management, SQL appears as covered when it is present in your resume. Missing terms are only prompts for review.

Limits and privacy

This checks text and common headings only. It does not verify experience or predict any employer’s ATS decision. Scanned PDFs need OCR first; files are limited to 20 MB and 30 pages. Resume text is processed in the current page.

Common questions

Is this an ATS pass score?

No. Employer systems differ. This tool provides a local text checklist only.

How can I improve Chinese keyword matching?

Enter the relevant terms from the job requirements in the must-have field, one per line.

Free use and requirements

Use the local functions for free without a KitNelo account. Optional Gemini generation sends the supplied text to Google and requires a configured server API key; provider fees and quotas can apply.

Keyword matching is a local checklist, not an employer ATS score or a guarantee of an interview.

Compare a Resume with a Job Description for Free

Paste your resume and the target job description to compare the language used in both documents. Use the local checklist to spot relevant experience that needs clearer wording, while keeping every qualification and achievement accurate.

Check Resume Keyword Coverage for Free

Review which terms from the job description appear in your resume and consider whether genuine examples support them. The coverage result is a local text comparison, not an employer ATS score or a prediction of interview selection.

Review Resume Sections for Free

Inspect the checklist for common resume sections and quantified examples, then revise missing or unclear details in your document. Match the structure to the role and your experience; completing every suggested section does not guarantee recruiter approval.
