Does your resume back up your questionnaire answers?

Paste your resume and the USAJOBS occupational questionnaire items (or the announcement's Specialized Experience paragraph). For each item we mechanically scan your resume for matching wording — quoted, if found. This never tells you what rating to pick, and it never checks whether you're qualified.

“Your resume and/or optional cover letter must support your responses to the scored occupational questionnaire, or your score may be lowered. If your responses are not substantiated by your submitted resume, you may be eliminated from receiving further consideration.”

Occupational questionnaire responses are subject to evaluation and verification, and a false statement on a federal application can be punishable under 18 U.S.C. § 1001.

Representative language — exact wording varies by announcement. Verified July 12, 2026.

What this is not:a tool that tells you which rating (like an A–E scale) to select, or a judgment on whether you're qualified. Only your agency's HR specialist makes that call. If an item shows no matching evidence, that means either add real experience you actually have to your resume, or answer honestly at the level your resume currently supports.

Your resume and questionnaire text never leave your browser — the check runs locally, and no AI is used. Deterministic text matching only.

What this tool can't tell you

We'd rather tell you the limits than overclaim. This tool checks wording overlap — it cannot check:

  • ·Whether you're actually qualified for the item — only the hiring agency's HR specialist rates that.
  • ·Which self-assessment rating to pick — this tool never suggests one; that call is yours to make honestly.
  • ·The exact wording or rating scale your announcement uses — those vary announcement to announcement, and we never assume a fixed scale (like A–E).
  • ·Whether a matched term is actually TRUE of your background — matching words is not proof of the claim; only you know that.
  • ·Items too short or general for us to pull specific terms from (we mark those ‘too short to check’ instead of guessing at a verdict).

Questionnaire support, answered honestly

Does this tell me which rating to select on the questionnaire?

No, and it never will — that's the one thing this tool refuses to do. It only shows whether your resume's wording already backs up an item. What rating you honestly deserve is your call, based on your real experience.

Does this use AI?

No. Every check is deterministic text matching that runs entirely in your browser — the same boundary-aware word matcher Climbr’s keyword-diff tool uses. Your resume and questionnaire text never leave your browser.

Why do some items show “too short to check”?

Short or generic items (roughly under 100 characters, or ones with no specific tool/system/skill name we can anchor on) don't give us anything reliable to search your resume for. Rather than guess, we say so — read those yourself.

Why does my resume need to support the questionnaire at all?

Agencies say so directly: your resume and/or cover letter must support your questionnaire responses, or your score may be lowered — and if it doesn’t, you may be eliminated from further consideration. See the sources below.
