Resume Keywords That Get You Interviews

Keywords are how the ATS decides if you're a match. Here's how to find and use them.

Find them in the job description

The JD is a keyword goldmine. Pull every hard skill, tool, certification, and responsibility. Prioritize terms that appear more than once.

Place them naturally

Spread keywords across your summary, skills section, and bullet points — not just a keyword dump. Context matters to human readers.

Use exact phrasing

If the JD says "CI/CD," don't just write "deployment." Include the literal term. Our ATS checker flags the exact keywords you're missing.
