Resume Keyword Matcher

Compare your resume with a job description to see which keywords you already match, which important terms are missing, and what to add before you apply.

Missing Keywords
Job-description terms that do not appear in your resume.

What is a Resume Keyword Matcher?

A resume keyword matcher compares two texts: your resume and a job description. It highlights overlapping terms, missing skills, and suggested wording so you can tailor an application more clearly. Unlike the Job Description Keyword Extractor, this page does not only read the posting. It checks both sides and shows a simple match score.

How to use this tool

Paste your resume into the first box and the job description into the second box. Click Match Resume Keywords to see matched terms, missing terms, and a 0-100 score. Load Example if you want to try the layout first. Only add a missing keyword when it honestly describes your experience, then rewrite the surrounding bullet so it still reads like your work.

Why resume keywords matter for ATS

Many online applications pass through an applicant tracking system before a recruiter reads them. Those systems often search for skills, tools, and phrases from the job posting. Using the same honest language can make a relevant resume easier to find. This matcher does not submit files to an ATS or promise that a higher score will produce interviews.

Tips for using missing keywords naturally

Do not dump every missing term into a skills list. Pick a few high-value skills or tools you actually used, then place them in a bullet with context: the task, the method, and the result. If a posting asks for Salesforce and you have used it, write what you tracked or updated in Salesforce rather than repeating the product name. After you revise, run the Resume Checker and, if needed, rewrite lines with the Resume Bullet Point Generator.
