Job Description Keyword Finder

An ATS is software used by employers to collect, sort, scan, and rank job applications. These systems scan resumes for specific keywords that match the job description, filtering out candidates who don't appear to match the requirements before a human reviewer sees them.

Keywords help your resume pass through ATS filters and reach human recruiters. Using the right keywords increases your chances of getting an interview by 60%. Keywords also show that you understand the industry terminology and have the specific skills employers are looking for.

Integrate keywords naturally throughout your resume, especially in your skills section, professional summary, and work experience. Use exact matches where possible, but don't just list keywords—contextualize them by showing how you've used these skills or qualifications in your previous roles.

Focus on including high and medium importance keywords that honestly reflect your skills and experience. Don't keyword stuff or claim skills you don't have, as this will be apparent in interviews. Prioritize keywords that appear multiple times in the job description.
