Resume Keyword Scanner for Job Descriptions

The right experience may be written in the wrong language

Companies often use specific names for tools, methods, responsibilities, and outcomes. Your resume may describe equivalent work with internal jargon or broad phrases, leaving recruiters to guess whether it matches the role.

Translate real work into clear, searchable terms

Compare the documents, review repeated terms, and add only the keywords you can support. A strong keyword match connects each important term to a credible project, responsibility, or result.

What the scan helps you review

• Missing keyword signals: See relevant terms from the job description that do not appear clearly in your resume.
• Context-aware review: Evaluate keywords alongside the surrounding role requirements instead of chasing a raw count.
• Editing priorities: Identify which summary, skill, project, or experience sections need attention first.

Common mistakes to fix

• Copying a long block of keywords into the resume
• Using acronyms without the full term when both forms appear in the industry
• Adding tools or qualifications you cannot discuss confidently
• Optimising for keyword count while leaving achievement bullets vague
