Read the posting closely

Note the repeated skills, tools and responsibilities. The job title and the requirements list matter most.

Compare the text

Paste your resume and the job description into the Resume keyword check. Select the relevant terms and see which are present and which are missing. The comparison happens in your browser, so your document is not uploaded.

Add only what is true

If a missing term describes work you have actually done, add it using the employer’s wording. Do not add skills you do not have. It can cost you the interview.

What this does not do

This is a text comparison, not an applicant tracking system score, and it cannot predict hiring decisions. Combine it with a clear layout and check the file with the resume formatting guide.
