Why your job applications might not be working

You send out application after application, yet nothing comes back. Many people apply for roles without knowing how closely their skills match what the job actually requires, which makes it harder to understand why there is no progress.

The “spray and pray” trap

Some people send applications to roles where they only meet a small part of the requirements. When you apply without understanding the skill match, you can waste time on roles that are unlikely to move forward.

The problem with perfection

Others avoid applying because they are missing one or two skills, even when their background is a strong match for most of the role. This leads to missed opportunities.

Guesswork creates more work

Job descriptions vary in format and detail, which makes it difficult to judge how well your experience lines up. Without a simple way to compare your skills to the role, it’s easy to under- or over-estimate your fit.

Misreading what the job actually needs

Job descriptions can be broad, inconsistent, or unclear. Without breaking them down into skills, it’s easy to focus on the wrong parts.

        Our tech finds the errors and we fix them

        The Job Fit Calculator uses the skills you enter and the ratings you select to show how closely your experience aligns with the requirements of the role. It highlights where you are strong, where you can build on transferable skills, and where any gaps may sit.

        We take it from here. If you want support beyond the calculator, we help you position yourself for the role by highlighting your strongest skills, addressing any gaps appropriately, and presenting your experience in a way that matches what the job needs.
