Build your own evidence trail

Pick one line from a job posting and a piece of work that might fit. You’ll put them side by side, decide what you can claim and note anything you still need to check.

No upload, sign-in or AI call. These fields stay in this page’s memory and are not submitted or saved by this worksheet. Copy or download to keep your work. Avoid names and confidential employer details.

The interactive worksheet needs JavaScript. You can still use the steps and all worked examples on this page: write down one requirement, your source facts, the claim to leave out, and the question to resolve.

1. One requirement from the job

Use the employer’s exact words. For example: “Coordinate schedules across teams.”

How is it described in the posting?

2. What work did you personally do?

Describe your part in the work and where you did it. If nothing comes to mind, write “No example documented” rather than copying the requirement.

Scope you can support (optional)Observed outcome (optional)

Leave this blank if you cannot support a result. A clear action is useful without an invented number.

3. How does that evidence fit?

Your judgment, not an automated assessment.

Help me choose an evidence label

Direct evidence: You did the requested work. Check that your level and scope match too.
Transferable evidence: You did relevant work in another setting or at a different level. Keep that context visible.
Needs clarification: You have a relevant claim, but need a specific missing fact before using it.
Not evidenced yet: Your current record does not support the requirement. It might be missing documentation or a real gap.

4. What would be an overclaim?

For example: “Managed people” when you coordinated a project but had no direct reports.

5. What record or question would clarify it?

Name a record to check or a question to answer. Do not upload or paste confidential records.

How does your resume read against the job you want?

Choose a posting and scan your resume to see how the experience you’ve described fits that job. The scan uses AI and can get things wrong. Its score is not an employer’s ATS score or a hiring prediction.
