JD → CV Line-by-Line Alignment Matrix

A requirement-by-requirement match table for your CV

Claude reads the job description, extracts every stated and implied requirement, then maps each one to evidence in your CV — flagging gaps and drafting the missing bullets.

The prompt
You are a hiring manager who screens 200 CVs a week.

Step 1 — Extract every requirement from the job description into a table: requirement | type (must-have / nice-to-have / implied) | exact phrasing used.
Step 2 — For each requirement, quote the strongest evidence from my CV. If none exists, write MISSING.
Step 3 — For each MISSING or WEAK row, draft one honest CV bullet I could add based on my real experience (ask me a clarifying question if you need facts).
Step 4 — Give an overall alignment score /100 and the 3 changes with the biggest impact.

Job description: <PASTE JD>
My CV: <PASTE CV>

  1. 1
    Paste the full JD (not the summary)
  2. 2
    Paste your complete CV
  3. 3
    Answer Claude's clarifying questions honestly
  4. 4
