How to check resume keywords for one job
Step 1
Paste the full job description
Keywords hide in requirements and responsibilities — not just the skills line at the bottom.
Step 2
Check matched vs missing
Green chips show terms already on your resume; amber shows gaps to address with proof.
Step 3
Add keywords in bullets, not white text
Pair each important term with scope, tool, and outcome you can discuss live.
