The essentials
What is the Skill Generator?
It suggests a skills list for a job title you enter — the technical skills, the tools and the transferable skills that appear alongside that role — so you start from a list to edit rather than an empty section.
Who it is for
It is for anyone filling in a skills section: if you are at the start of your career, changing field, or you cannot tell which of your skills are worth listing for the role you want, the suggestions give you the vocabulary to choose from.
How it works
- Enter the job title you are applying for.
- The generator returns grouped suggestions — role-specific skills, tools and general transferable ones.
- Delete anything you cannot evidence and keep the rest. A skill you cannot discuss in an interview does not belong on the list.
What you need
- The job title, and a rough idea of which of the suggestions you have actually used.
- No account, no upload and no payment.
What you get
A grouped, editable list of suggested skills for the role, ready to paste into the builder's skills section and cut down to the ones that are true.
What it does not do
A suggestion is not a statement about you. The generator cannot know your experience, and a skills list with claims you cannot support is worse than a shorter, honest one.
Next step: compare the skills against an advert or add them to your resume.
Why Skills Matter on Your Resume
The skills section is one of the most scanned parts of a resume, because it answers a single question quickly: does this person have what the advert asks for? A parser reads the same list, so the safest version is the one that mirrors the advert's own wording where that wording is true of you.
The generator matches the job title you enter against a curated library of skills for common role families, and lists what that family usually includes: tools, technical skills and the soft skills that tend to appear in those adverts. It is a starting list, not a verdict — keep only the entries you can evidence in an interview.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many skills should I list on my resume?
10-15 relevant skills is ideal. Focus on quality over quantity—list skills that match the job requirements and that you can actually demonstrate.
Should I rate my skill proficiency?
Optional. If you do, be honest and consistent. Some employers prefer years of experience (e.g., 'Python - 5 years') over subjective ratings.
What's the difference between hard and soft skills?
Hard skills are technical, teachable abilities (e.g., Excel, coding). Soft skills are interpersonal attributes (e.g., communication, leadership). Include both.
Should I include basic skills like Microsoft Office?
Only if they're relevant to the job. For senior roles, basic computer skills are assumed. For entry-level positions or administrative roles, they're worth mentioning.
How do I know which skills employers want?
Which skills matter depends on the postings you are targeting: the terms that appear most often in similar adverts are the ones to prioritise. The skill suggester matches the job title you enter against curated skill sets for common role families, and you check that list against the adverts you are actually applying to.
Can I add skills I'm currently learning?
Yes, but be clear. Create a separate section for 'Currently Learning' or note proficiency level as 'Basic' or 'Learning.'
