Stop Guessing What to Learn. Discover What the Market Actually Demands

By Jom Ariya 4 min read

If you've been applying to job after job and hearing nothing back, you've probably asked yourself at least one of these:

  • What am I actually missing?
  • Why do some roles feel "close" but never convert to interviews?
  • Which skills should I really focus on next?

Most job seekers try to answer these questions by manually comparing job descriptions—one role at a time. It's slow, overwhelming, and often misleading.

So I built something to fix that.

Today, I'm introducing Gap Analysis in JobGlance.


The Problem With Looking at Jobs One by One

When you analyze jobs individually, you end up with fragmented signals:

  • Company A emphasizes Docker
  • Company B highlights Kubernetes
  • Company C mentions Terraform

You start guessing priorities, switching learning paths, and tweaking your resume endlessly—without knowing what actually matters most across your target market.

What's missing is aggregation.


What Gap Analysis Does

Instead of analyzing jobs in isolation, JobGlance now looks at all the jobs you've saved and answers one critical question:

What does the market I'm targeting consistently demand?

Gap Analysis aggregates data from your saved jobs and builds a personalized view of your Market Demand.

Not generic advice.
Not trends pulled from the internet.
Your real target roles.


How Gap Analysis Helps You Job Hunt Smarter

See the Big Picture

JobGlance shows which skills appear most frequently across your saved jobs.

For example:

  • "Docker appears in 80% of your saved roles"
  • "Python appears in 75%"

This instantly tells you what's non-negotiable versus what's optional.

No more guessing between Company A vs. Company B.
You see what the market agrees on.

Pinpoint Your Actual Skill Gaps

Gap Analysis compares market demand against your uploaded resume.

You'll see:

  • Which high-priority keywords you're missing
  • Which skills you already cover well
  • Where small changes could significantly improve your match rate

This eliminates the guesswork from resume optimization.

Get Direction for Your Next Project or Learning Goal

Once you know what's missing, the next step becomes obvious.

Instead of asking:

  • "What project should I build?"
  • "What should I learn next?"

You can confidently say:

"I need a project that demonstrates X, Y, and Z—because 70% of my target roles require it."

That's how strategy replaces randomness.


Job Hunting With Strategy, Not Hope

Gap Analysis is built around one idea:

Let real market data tell you where to improve.

No fluff.
No motivational advice.
Just clear signals based on the jobs you actually want.
