About SkillsForResume

We built the resource we wished existed when we were applying for jobs.

What we do

SkillsForResume.com helps job seekers find the right words for their resume. We maintain a database of 1,400+ skills across 18 categories — each curated by reviewing thousands of real job postings — and we offer two free tools that help you put those skills to work.

Our Skills Matcher checks a job description and tells you exactly which skills to highlight. Our ATS Resume Checker scores your resume from 0–100 and gives you specific improvements to make before submitting.

Who it's for

Anyone writing or updating a resume — whether you're a recent graduate entering the workforce, a professional changing industries, or someone returning to work after a break. We cover 18 industries and skill types, from soft skills and computer skills to medical, legal, engineering, and hospitality.

How we built it

The site is built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no frameworks, no trackers beyond Google Analytics, no accounts required. Everything runs in your browser. Your resume text never leaves your device.
