Job Posting Analysis
4. Review: Address the Gaps.
Everyone has skill or experience gaps—being 100% qualified is rare.
Tips:
- Don’t highlight gaps in your cover letter, resume, or interview (unless asked)
- If asked, briefly explain how you plan to build the skill (e.g., a course, volunteering, on-the-job training)
- For unfamiliar tools, mention similar software you know and your ability to learn quickly
- Use language and keywords from the job posting and company website to show alignment and build rapport
- Emphasize transferable skills—employers often train technical ones but expect soft skills to be well-developed
