Find the Skills You’re Missing: AI Job-Gap Analysis with Claude Code

“Why am I not getting interviews?” is usually a gap problem: the roles you want ask for things your résumé doesn’t show. Instead of guessing, have your Claude Code agent measure it — score your résumé against a stack of real postings for your target role and tell you exactly which skills keep coming up missing.

TL;DR: Point your agent at 15–20 postings for the role you want. It runs ResumeAlign’s analyze_job_match on each, aggregates the missing keywords, and ranks them by how often they appear — turning a vague worry into a concrete "learn these three, surface these two" list. Runs on your own model, so it’s $0.

Why one job isn’t enough

Scoring against a single posting tells you about that posting. Scoring against many tells you about the market: the skills that show up in 15 of 20 “senior platform engineer” jobs are the ones actually gating the role. A one-off match can mislead; the aggregate doesn’t.

The prompt

Here are 18 job links for "senior platform engineer" roles I want.
For each, score my résumé with analyze_job_match and collect the
missing keywords. Then:
  - Rank the missing skills by how many postings want them.
  - Split into "I have this but it's not on my résumé" vs
    "I'd need to learn/build this."
  - Recommend the 3 highest-leverage things to fix first.

The agent calls ResumeAlign for the scrape + score on each job, then applies its own judgment to cluster and prioritize. You get a frequency-ranked gap list, not a wall of keywords.

Two kinds of gap — and what to do

Surfacing gaps — you have the experience, it’s just not on the page. Fix instantly: “Rewrite my résumé to surface Kubernetes and Terraform, truthfully, using my real experience.”
Real gaps — you genuinely haven’t done it. Now you have a learning target. Pair it with a build-now project so it’s on your résumé soon, then re-score.

Close the loop

After you update your base résumé, ask the agent to re-score against the same 18 jobs and show the before/after. Watching the average match score climb — and the gap list shrink — tells you the rewrite worked before you send a single application.

Then act on it

Once your résumé matches the market, let the agent tailor and apply to the strong matches — or schedule it. Because the scoring and tailoring run on your Claude Code subscription, analyzing 20 jobs and re-scoring costs you nothing per run.

Frequently asked questions

Why score against many jobs instead of one?
A single posting tells you about that posting; many postings tell you about the role. Skills that appear in most listings for your target role are the ones actually gating it. Aggregating across 15–20 jobs turns a vague worry into a ranked, actionable gap list.

What’s the difference between a surfacing gap and a real gap?
A surfacing gap is experience you have but didn’t put on the page — fix it instantly by rewriting truthfully. A real gap is something you haven’t done yet — that’s a learning target, ideally paired with a build-now project so it lands on your résumé soon.
