How fit scores work
A fit score tells you how well your master resume matches one job, before you spend a tailoring credit. Fit checks are free: 25 a month.
What the score means
We read the posting's 8 to 12 most important requirements, quoted from the posting itself, and check each one against your resume: met, partly shown or not in your resume. Must-haves count three times as much as nice-to-haves, and a partial match counts half. That gives a score from 0 to 100.
- Apply: 70 or more, with at most one must-have missing.
- Skip: below 40, or more than half the must-haves missing.
- Stretch: everything in between.
It's a guide, not a promise. The scorecard on each job breaks the score into skills, experience, education and keywords.
Check a job's fit
- Copy the job posting link. Choose Add a job in the sidebar and paste it (new accounts get a big paste box on the queue).
- Click Check fit. It takes a few seconds. If the page won't open, paste the job text instead.
- Read your verdict: the fit %, Apply / Stretch / Skip, and the gaps. Open the job from your queue to see why you fit, line by line.
Why we never invent experience
The same rule holds when you tailor: new lines come only from your master resume or your own answers. See How tailoring stays honest.
Paper size and page count
Choose A4 or US Letter, and PDF, DOCX or both, in Settings › Export defaults. Margins stay 1 inch either way. Previews show the page count, so you know before you download.
