FAQ
- What are resume keywords?
- Skills, tools, and phrases from the job description that ATS systems and recruiters search for. Matching them honestly improves discoverability.
- How is this different from ATS Checker?
- ATS Checker shows an overall keyword-overlap score. The Keyword Scanner focuses on the missing-terms list (Keywords tab) inside the same Resume Workspace.
- Should I stuff every keyword?
- No. Only add terms that reflect real experience. Stuffing looks spammy to recruiters and can hurt credibility.
- Which tab does this open?
- The Keywords tab in Resume Workspace.
