Job requirement to evidence worksheet
Paste the advert or person specification and the worksheet splits it into requirement lines, labelled essential, desirable or not labelled from the advert's own wording. For each line it asks an evidence question; you write the example, and the status only reflects whether you did. Nothing is written for you, so the finished worksheet is a truthful map of fit and gaps you can carry into a resume, cover letter or interview.
Everything you type is processed in your browser. A draft is kept in this browser's local storage so you can come back to it, and a visible Clear control deletes it. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged by Luceria; analytics record only that the tool was used, never its contents.
Use the tool
Essential, desirable and 'assessed at interview' headings are used when the advert has them; (A) and (I) markers are read too. A stated word limit is picked up. Up to 30,000 characters.
Evidence map across several applications
Add the adverts you are applying to and your own true examples. Luceria suggests possible links where the words overlap; a suggestion is a lead to check, not proof. Only links you confirm count, a required qualification is matched only against qualifications you say you hold, and everything stays in this browser.
How it works
- Headings such as Essential, Desirable, Requirements or About you set the default label; bulleted lines under them become requirement lines.
- Lines with requirement wording (must, ability to, experience of, qualified, licence) are picked up even without a heading; responsibilities and benefits are skipped.
- Each requirement gets an evidence question tuned to its type: qualifications ask whether you hold them exactly, experience asks where and for how long, behaviours ask for one specific situation.
- Status is evidenced, needs more or no evidence yet, judged only from your own text: length and whether it uses the requirement's own terms.
- Below the workbench, an evidence map works across several adverts: your own true examples, word-overlap suggestions shown only as leads you confirm or reject, coverage counted from confirmed links only, and a required qualification met only by a qualification you say you hold. Re-reading a changed advert marks only that advert's unconfirmed suggestions out of date.
What it does not do
The worksheet does not know your history and never fills in evidence. It also cannot tell which requirements an employer will actually score; the essential and desirable labels come from the advert's wording, which some employers use loosely.

Worked example
Illustrative example with invented details, not a real person’s result.
A fictional customer support advert: inputs
- An advert with Essential (four lines), Desirable (two lines) and Responsibilities sections.
- Evidence written for three essential lines from a fictional dental-practice reception role.
What the tool shows
- Six requirement lines found: four essential, two desirable; the responsibilities were not treated as requirements.
- Three lines show evidence written, including the ticketing-system line answered honestly with a comparable booking system.
- Right to work in the UK shows no evidence yet because nothing was written; the worksheet does not assume it.
- The CSV export carries each requirement, its label, its status and the writer's own words.
How to use it well
- Paste the person specification or the About you section, not only the duties; requirements live there.
- Answer every essential line first. If you have nothing truthful to write, leave it blank: a blank is information.
- For behaviours, write one concrete situation with a result; that line becomes an interview answer later.
- Export the worksheet and use the evidenced lines to decide what your tailored resume must show first.
Common questions
Why did it miss a requirement?
Lines without requirement wording and without an essential or desirable heading are skipped so that duties and benefits do not flood the list. Paste the line again under a heading such as Essential: and it will be picked up.
Does it match keywords?
Only to judge whether your evidence mentions the requirement's own terms. It does not score the advert against a resume; Luceria's ATS check does that with a full job description.
Can I use it for an application form?
Yes. Many forms ask you to address a person specification point by point; the worksheet is the drafting step for that.
