Skill Gap Analysis | 8-Page Career Planning & Role Readiness Tool
You found a role that interests you.
Then you read the job description and start wondering:
“Do I actually qualify for this?”
“Am I missing too many skills?”
“Does my academic experience even count?”
“What do I really need to learn before I apply?”
A long list of job requirements can make it easy to focus on what you don't have—and overlook the evidence you already do.
The Skill Gap Analysis is an 8-page practical career-planning tool designed to help graduate students, postdocs, researchers, and early-career professionals compare their actual experience with the requirements of roles they are considering.
Instead of labeling every missing keyword as a weakness, you'll sort requirements into what you can already demonstrate, what may be transferable, what can realistically be learned, and what represents a true experience gap.
What's Inside — 8 Pages

Break Down a Real Job Description
Identify Your Evidence
Recognize Transferable Skills
Separate Different Types of Gaps
Evaluate Your Current Readiness
Prioritize What
