Beat the ATS: Resume Keyword Extractor

Analyze your resume against job descriptions to identify the critical professional terms and skills youโ€™re missing. Stop guessing and start seeing your CV through the eyes of an Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

๐Ÿ’ก Why Use This?

Most resumes are filtered out by automated systems before a human recruiter ever sees them. If your resume doesn't mirror the specific terminology used in a job description, you'll likely be overlookedโ€”even if you're perfectly qualified.

This tool extracts key terms and visualizes their importance based on frequency. By comparing your resume to a job post, you can pinpoint exactly which "buzzwords" to add and which skills to emphasize to land the interview.

๐Ÿ“˜ Pro Tips

  • Visualize Your Value The more important a term is, the larger and bolder it appears. Ensure your core competencies (e.g., "Project Management," "Python," "Strategic Planning") are the most prominent.
  • Close the Gap Check the "Missing Keywords" section to find specific requirements from the job post that you possess but forgot to include in your CV.
  • Write for Bots and Humans Aim for a high match rate by naturally weaving keywords into your experience bullet points. Don't just list them; provide context.
  • Audit Your Vocabulary Paste any text to generate a quick word cloud. Use this to catch repetitive phrases or overused jargon that doesn't add value to your profile.

๐Ÿง FAQ

  • How are keywords identified? The algorithm identifies nouns, technical competencies, and industry-standard skills while filtering out common "stop words" (like "the," "and," or "with").
  • Does a 100% match guarantee an interview? No. A high match score gets you past the digital gatekeeper, but human recruiters still look for context, impact, and measurable results.
  • Is my data secure? Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your resume and personal details are never sent to a server or stored.

๐Ÿ“Š The ATS Reality Check

Nearly 99% of Fortune 500 companies use ATS software to manage candidates. These systems scan for specific "hard" and "soft" skills. If a recruiter searches their database for "Cloud Computing" and your resume only says "Web Services," you might never appear in their results. Standardizing your terminology to match the industry and the specific job posting is the most effective way to modernize your job search.
