    Resume Keywords & Job Match

    Keyword stuffing doesn’t get you hired. Clear alignment does. Here’s how to extract the real themes from the job description and show them as evidence in your resume.

    1) Extract themes, not just words

    Scan for three buckets:

    • Tools/tech: platforms, languages, systems (SQL, Salesforce, Snowflake, React).
    • Responsibilities: what you’re expected to do (own, ship, optimize, forecast, partner).
    • Outcomes: what success looks like (conversion, cycle time, retention, cost, quality).

    2) Decide what to emphasize

    If the role is 60% analytics and your resume is 60% operations, you’ll look “off” even if you’re capable. Move relevant bullets up and cut distracting content.

    3) Turn keywords into proof

    Keywords belong in bullets where you can prove them. A skills list helps scanning, but it’s not evidence.

    Use Bullet Point Rewriter to turn themes into strong bullets.

    4) Keep it credible

    • Don’t claim tools you haven’t used.
    • Use defensible ranges if needed.
    • Prefer clarity over “buzzword density”.
