What makes a consulting or strategy resume match
- Lead each bullet with the problem, your analysis, and the decision it informed.
- Show the tools you used for analysis and modelling.
- Name industries and client types without breaching confidentiality.
How the match works
- 1. We read the job description and list its requirements, marking each as required or preferred.
- 2. We look for each requirement in your resume and quote the line that proves it.
- 3. A match only counts if the quote is really in your resume. Required skills count double.
Frequently asked questions

In the 29 postings we analysed, the most common were Data analysis (43% of companies), Project management (36% of companies), SQL (36% of companies), Management consulting (29% of companies), Market research (29% of companies). Match these against the specific job description you are applying to, because each employer weights them differently.
How much experience do strategy analyst jobs require?
Postings that state a minimum ask for a median of 4 years. 0% accept a year or less, and 43% ask for five years or more (based on 21 postings that stated a number).
Are strategy analyst jobs remote or in office?
Of postings that specified it, 48% were office-based, 0% hybrid, and 48% remote.
How does the job description match score work?
We pull the requirements out of the job description you paste, mark each one as required or preferred, and look for evidence of it in your resume. Only quotes that actually appear in your resume count as a match. The score is weighted so required skills count twice as much as preferred ones.
Should I add every missing keyword to my resume?
No. Add a skill only if you have genuinely used it, and show it inside a bullet about real work rather than only in a skills list. Recruiters and screening tools both treat unsupported keywords as padding.
