Skills Checklist (Excel Template)

Most candidates skim through a job description, notice a few familiar skills, and apply. But interviews are often based on the entire role—not just the skills you already know.

This Skills Checklist helps you compare your current knowledge against the requirements listed in a Job Description (JD). Simply list the skills mentioned in the JD, rate your proficiency, identify your gaps, and prioritize what you need to learn before applying or interviewing.

Download this checklist to:

• Understand where you stand against a specific job.

• Identify your strengths and skill gaps.

• Prioritize what to study instead of trying to learn everything.

• Walk into interviews with greater confidence and preparation.

Remember: The goal isn't to discourage you from applying—it's to help you prepare smarter and present yourself with confidence.
