Resume gap analysis for Enterprise Architect

Enterprise architecture depth is stated, never evidenced

Most Enterprise Architect resumes list Enterprise architecture as a bullet in a skills bar. Job descriptions ask what you built with it. Attach Enterprise architecture to one project, its scope, and the result.

No numbers against technical debt reduction

Hiring managers for this role scan for technical debt reduction and portfolio cost savings. A resume without those figures reads as an enterprise architect who was present, not one who moved anything.

LeanIX listed, ArchiMate missing

JDs for this role usually pair LeanIX with ArchiMate. Naming only one signals partial coverage of the workflow and drops your keyword match.

TOGAF and Technology strategy buried under duties

TOGAF and Technology strategy are core screening keywords for Enterprise Architect openings, but they often sit at the bottom of a paragraph. An ATS weights the first lines of each role far more heavily.

Scope of ownership is unclear

"define target-state architecture across business domains" means something different at a 5-person team and a 500-person org. State team size, budget, volume, or user count so the reviewer can place your Application portfolio rationalisation experience.

Certifications and qualifications not surfaced

TOGAF 9 Certified, Zachman Certification appear in the preferred section of most Enterprise Architect JDs. If you hold one, it belongs near the top, not in a trailing "Others" line.
