Why This Works

The problem: most people apply with the same resume. You need a new ATS score and a new resume for each role/application

This framework fixes that by turning job applications into a repeatable process:

  • Score your match against the job description

  • Take the correct action based on your score

  • Apply only when you’re in the pass zone

What is an ATS score?

Your ATS score is your match % between your resume and the exact job description.

That means:

  • The score changes by role/application (that’s normal)

  • A “good resume” isn’t enough—a matched resume wins

  • Your job is not to rewrite endlessly—your job is to get into the pass zone efficiently

...and what you can do next (SAVE THIS)

0–30% ATS score — “Wrong story / wrong target”

You’re not aligned yet, or the role isn’t a fit.

Do this next:

  • Confirm the job title + level match your experience

  • Add missing keywords (skills, tools, core responsibilities)

  • Re-run Fit Check after edits until you reach 30%+

Goal: Don’t apply in this zone.

30–60% ATS score — “Good start, but you’ll get filtered”

You’re close enough to compete, but still missing important signals.

Do this next:

  • Use Perfect Match (1–3 credits) to automatically optimize your resume for this job

  • Re-score after each optimization until you cross 60%

Shortcut: This is where the app does the work for you.

60–80% ATS score — “Close — you’re one boost away”

You’re near the pass zone.

Do this next:

  • Use Perfect Match for a final optimization

  • Re-score until you reach 80%+

Why this matters: A small improvement here can be the difference between a callback and silence.

80%+ ATS score — “Apply now”

You’re aligned and ready.

Do this next:

  • Apply

  • Save this resume version for similar roles (you can reuse it with light changes)

  • Still score your resume before applying to each role

FAQ

What’s a “good” ATS score?
In most cases, 80%+ is your “apply now” zone.

Why does my score change for different jobs?
Because ATS scoring is role-specific. Different postings prioritize different keywords and experience signals.

Do I need to rewrite my resume every time?
No. Use Fit Check to diagnose. Use Perfect Match to optimize automatically. Then apply.

Will this guarantee I get hired?
No tool can guarantee outcomes, but matching the role dramatically improves your odds of passing early filters.
