Job application checklist (before you hit submit)

Most applications die for boring reasons. Run this list every time.

1. Keyword gap check (2 minutes)

• Paste resume + JD into a free checker.
• Add missing skills you actually have — exact phrases when true.
• Tool: free ATS keyword gap checker.

2. Lead with impact bullets

• Start with the verb + outcome, not responsibilities.
• Quantify where the source supports it.
• Need a fast rewrite? $5 for top 5 bullets.

3. Cover letter only when it helps

• If the form allows one, make it specific to that company.
• Skip generic “I am writing to apply…” openers.

4. LinkedIn matches the resume

• Headline = role you want + proof.
• About = first two lines are the hook.
