Purpose: choose where to spend application effort using the real vacancy and your own needs. Scores organize your options; they do not predict an employer's decision.
Target work/role family [ ]; title variants [ ]; demonstrated experience [ ]; practical non-negotiables [ ]; preferences [ ]; gaps you can investigate or learn [ ].
Role record: employer/title [ ]; original posting and employer/application destination checked [ ]; posting date/closing date/timezone [ ]; saved text/version [ ]. Keep unknown conditions unknown; do not assume a title guarantees the work or schedule.
Requirement | essential/preferred/unclear in posting | your evidence/gap | question/source | decision effect
[Requirement | actual wording | honest fit | verification | apply/investigate/skip]
Separate missing experience from an unclear requirement. Do not silently downgrade an explicitly essential qualification because other scores are high.

Optional comparison: relevant experience 0–2; interest in actual work 0–2; practical fit 0–2, with rationale for each. Use the same definitions across your roles and treat unknowns as unknown, not zero or a fabricated match. A failed non-negotiable can override the total; the score is not an applicant ranking supplied to the employer.
Destination/privacy check: use the employer's verified route and the requested materials; resolve an unverified destination before sending personal information. A route you cannot verify is not automatically proved fraudulent, but it is a reason to investigate/hold.
Decision: apply / investigate / skip [reason]. Next question owner/date [ ]; deadline [ ]; submitted-version reference if later applied [ ]. No application is sent by this worksheet, and no protected or sensitive personal characteristics are needed for the score.
