Filling in the Gaps: Strengthening Your Job Application with Careerspan
You've completed a Vibe Check and decided the job is worth your time—great! So, what's next?
2025
Right now, our automated process for this step is still under development, but you can easily fill in the gaps yourself by following these steps:
Step 1: Analyzing the Job Description
Take the job description you're interested in and head over to ChatGPT. Ask ChatGPT to analyze the job description and identify:
Key Responsibilities
Soft Skills
Hard Skills
Request that it provide a clear, itemized list for each of these categories.
Step 2: Matching Your Experience
Next, upload your resume into ChatGPT and instruct it with the following prompt:
“For each item in these lists, come up with examples of ways I may have directly or transferably demonstrated these skills in my past work experiences.”
Step 3: Identifying and Telling Your Stories
Review the suggestions provided by ChatGPT. Compare them carefully to the stories you've already shared with Careerspan. If there are important skills or responsibilities you haven't yet highlighted—and you have experiences that resonate—tell us those stories! This is crucial for filling in your gaps, ensuring our resume tailoring and cover letter generation services can work more effectively for you.
Temporary but Effective
This method is a temporary workaround while we finalize our more advanced, automated system. Our upcoming automated solution will minimize your effort even further by performing deeper, more precise analyses of your background. Still, the principles remain the same: aligning your past experiences with the requirements of your desired role to present a compelling, comprehensive profile.
