How to use it
- Paste the whole job description. The breakdown uses only what the posting says, so include the title, the duties, the requirements, any nice-to-have list and anything it says about pay, hours or the team.
- Read the must-haves against your resume. Check each must-have against your own experience. If you meet most of them, the job is worth applying for; the nice-to-haves are a bonus, not a bar.
- Use the keywords and questions. Work the keywords you can honestly claim into your resume and cover letter, and save the questions for the interview or a call with the recruiter.

Frequently asked questions
What does the job description analyzer show?
Five lists from the posting you paste: the must-have requirements, the nice-to-have skills, the keywords it stresses, the day-to-day work described as short tasks, and questions you could ask the employer about parts the posting leaves open or stresses.
Does it add requirements the posting does not state?
It is told to use only what the posting says, and every result is checked before you see it: a number or name the posting does not contain is refused and the breakdown is rewritten once. If it still cannot be written from the posting, you see nothing and the attempt does not count toward your free allowance.
How do I tell a must-have from a nice-to-have?
Postings often mark them with headings such as requirements, preferred or a plus. The analyzer sorts items by how the posting labels them. When a posting does not separate them, most items land under must-haves, so read the list with that in mind.
Is the job description saved?
No. The text you paste is sent to Applystead only to write this breakdown and is not stored. Copy the parts you want to keep, such as the keywords and questions, before you leave the page.
How many job descriptions can I analyze for free?
Five generations a day with no account, shared with the other free AI tools such as the resume tailor and the cover letter generator. The allowance resets at midnight Pacific time, and each breakdown you receive counts as one generation.
