Role Alignment Worksheet | Job Search & Career Planning Tool

Stop applying to jobs just because you could do them—and start focusing on the opportunities that actually make sense for you.

The Role Alignment Worksheet is a guided job search tool designed to help you break down a job posting, compare the employer’s needs to your experience, identify potential gaps, and decide whether a position is worth pursuing.

Instead of reading a job description and wondering, “Am I actually qualified for this?” this worksheet gives you a simple, structured way to evaluate the opportunity before you spend time tailoring your resume and submitting an application.

Identify knowledge or experience you may want to strengthen—and consider how you could build it.

5. Assess Your Overall Fit
