Yes. Pasting a job description, seeing your match score, and reading the green/amber heatmap are all free. The whole builder is free to use — if it helped, you can leave an optional tip, but nothing is gated behind a payment.

Do I need a CV first?

Yes — JD Match compares a job description against your CV, so build or import your CV first, then paste the job ad. You can import an existing PDF or DOCX in seconds and review every field before it's added.

Will the AI exaggerate my experience to score higher?

No — that's the opposite of what it's built to do. When it rewords a bullet to surface a keyword, it only re-expresses what you already did. If your experience can't truthfully back a keyword, it declines rather than invent a metric, tool, or certification. You review every suggestion before it's applied.

Can I tailor my CV per job without losing my full one?

Yes. Tailor your CV to a specific role and download a focused copy for that application, while your master CV keeps everything. You're never rewriting from scratch for the next role.

Is this built for the UAE job market?

Yes. JD Match and the builder are UAE-aware throughout — emirate, visa status and nationality fields, attestation, and UAE-specific examples and suggestions — so your CV fits how Dubai, Abu Dhabi and GCC employers actually read it.

Quick Answer

How do I check if my CV matches a UAE job description?

MakeMyCV's JD Match compares your CV against any UAE job description and returns a match score plus a green/amber heatmap of every requirement you cover or miss. Build or import your CV, paste the job ad, and close each gap. Built for Dubai, Abu Dhabi and GCC hiring, it never invents experience — your draft stays in your browser while matching runs server-side. Free, no sign-up.

How JD Match works

From a job ad to a CV built for it.

Paste any job description. JD Match shows you the gap, walks you through closing it, and lets you download a version tailored to that role.

Step 1 · Heatmap

Read the job. See where you stand.

We light up the actual job description you paste — green where your CV already covers a requirement, amber where there's a gap. No dense report to decode. You read the real job ad and see exactly what's missing.

Every requirement marked matched or missing
Grouped by skills, tools, certifications and keywords
Score band, not a pass/fail verdict

Step 2 · Guided Coach

Fix the gaps that move the needle first.

Instead of a wall of gaps, the coach walks you through the highest-impact fixes one at a time — and shows the score lift each one earns, so you spend your effort where it counts.

Your score updates live as you fix

Step 3 · Tailor & download

A focused CV for every application.

Tailor your CV to that one role and download a copy built for it — while your master CV keeps everything. A fresh, focused application each time, without rewriting from scratch or losing your full history.

Your master CV stays complete
No starting over for the next role

From DIFC banking roles to ADNOC and Emaar project teams, JD Match reads the job ad back to you and shows exactly where your CV falls short — the fastest way to see why an application isn’t landing.

Honest by design

We help you tell the truth better — not lie better.

When our AI rewords an experience bullet to fit a job, it re-expresses what you actually did. If your experience can’t truthfully back a keyword, it says so — instead of inventing a number, a tool, or a certification you never had.

Watch it work — the job asks for “SAP ERP”

1The situation
The job wants “SAP ERP”
Your closest line is a retail bullet: “Greeted walk-in customers and arranged products on shelves.”

2What we find
It doesn’t back the keyword
We scan that bullet for anything that truthfully supports SAP ERP — and find nothing that does.

3What we do Verified honest
We flag the gap — we don’t fake it
No invented system, no padded line. We leave it out and surface it as a real gap. The honest move is the one that survives the interview.

Smart, honest matching

Recognises the same skill worded differently — “M365” counts for “Microsoft 365”. But it won’t claim you know Salesforce just because you listed HubSpot.

Rewrites, never fabricates

The AI re-words what your bullet already says to surface a keyword. When it can’t do that truthfully, it declines — every suggestion is yours to review before it’s applied.

Private by design

Your working CV draft is saved in your browser, not an account. To run a match or an AI rewrite, the relevant CV and job text is sent to our servers to generate the result — never sold, never shown to recruiters, never used to train AI models.
