Resume Checker - Chrome Extension

In today’s competitive job market, it’s difficult to know if your resume truly meets the needs of a specific job description. I built a Chrome extension to solve this pain point. This tool gives job seekers instant, actionable feedback by identifying exactly how well their provided resume matches a chosen job description in order to make improvements and increase their chances of landing an interview.

What It Does

Project Motivation: Built from Experience

The idea for this tool wasn’t born in a vacuum, it came from my own job search. Like many candidates, I spent hours trying to manually adjust my CV for every new job description, essentially guessing what skills and keywords mattered most. I realized there had to be a better way to increase my chances of landing an interview.

I wanted instant, concrete insight into how well my resume actually aligned with a job’s requirements. This tool transforms the manual, tedious process of tailoring a CV into a quick, data-backed step, giving every job seeker the power to immediately see and fix the gaps between their experience and the role they want. It’s a solution built by a job seeker, for job seekers.
