You meet the job requirements. No interview. What do you wish you’d known before applying?

You read the job description, tick the boxes, tailor your resume and apply. Then… silence. Looking back, what would have helped you decide whether that application was worth your time? A clearer picture of your fit? Whether a requirement was truly non-negotiable? Whether the role matched your salary or career goals?

I’m Bukky, founder of SBMark. We’re building “Check Before You Apply” to help candidates understand their fit, see the evidence gaps, and decide where to focus their effort.

Ahead of our November 21 launch, I’d love to hear your experience: What’s the one thing you wish you could check before hitting Apply?
