Find your Resume Skill Gaps

Most jobseekers know they want a job. Few know what skills they actually have, or what's missing to get the one they want. That's the real gap and it's the one this guide closes.

This isn't another "tips" PDF. It's a step-by-step process, built for you to run yourself using AI as your research assistant:

Stage 1 — Skills Inventory Upload your resume, appraisal sheets, and past job descriptions. Copy-paste AI prompts extract every skill you've actually demonstrated including the ones buried in your bullet points that you've forgotten to claim.

Stage 2 — Market Demand Scan Upload 5–10 job adverts for roles you want. Find out which skills repeat across them the real signal of what the market is hiring for right now.

Stage 3 — Categorisation Sort your skills into Technical, Transferable, and Domain-specific, so you can see your actual balance, not just a long list.

Stage 4 — Self-Rating Rate every skill Strong, Developing, or Rusty with evidence, not guesswork.

Stage 5 — Gap Analysis & Recommendations Compare what you have to what the market wants. Get specific course/certification recommendations for your biggest gaps, plus a 12-week action plan to close them.

You'll walk away with:

• A completed Skills Portfolio Scorecard (one page, reusable every 6 months)
• A prioritised list of skill gaps with specific course/certification recommendations
• A 12-week action plan to close your top 3 gaps
• Every AI prompt used, so you can re-run the audit anytime, free, on your own

Who this is for: Jobseekers who are tired of applying based on job titles and want a clear, evidence-based answer to "what should I actually be doing right now to get hired." Especially useful before a job search, a career pivot, or a resume rewrite.
