Resume Keywords Checker

Applicant Tracking Systems compare your resume text against the job description to identify matches. • Exact match: The system looks for the exact keyword or phrase from the JD • Semantic match: Advanced ATS can match related terms (e.g., "ML" = "machine learning") • Frequency: Some systems weight keywords that appear multiple times • Context: Better ATS considers where keywords appear (skills section vs buried in text) • Required vs preferred: Some ATS weight "required" keywords higher than "nice-to-have"

Our checker identifies keywords across these categories: • Hard skills: specific technologies, programming languages, tools, platforms • Soft skills: leadership, communication, teamwork, problem-solving • Certifications: PMP, AWS, CPA, CISSP, Six Sigma • Industry terms: domain-specific jargon, acronyms, standards • Action verbs: led, developed, implemented, optimized, managed • Job titles: exact role titles and equivalent variations • Education: degree requirements, fields of study
