Resume Keyword Extractor

Why Keywords Matter on Your Resume

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan resumes for specific keywords before a human ever sees your application. If the right words aren't in your resume, you won't make it through — no matter how qualified you are. This tool extracts the terms recruiters and ATS systems are looking for, ranked by how often they appear in the job posting.

How keyword priority is determined

• Must-Have — keywords that appear 3+ times in the job description. These are clearly central to the role.
• Important — keywords that appear 2 times. Worth including if you genuinely have the skill.
• Nice to Have — keywords that appear once. Include where relevant but don't force them.

How to use these keywords

• Add the must-have keywords to your Skills section verbatim
• Weave important keywords naturally into your bullet points
• Only include keywords that reflect skills you actually have — interviews will reveal any gaps
• Use the exact spelling and phrasing from the job description, not synonyms
