Resume keyword checker
Paste a job description and your resume. We list the important words the job uses that your resume does not. Everything stays in your browser.
Why keywords matter
Many companies use software to filter resumes before a person reads them, and recruiters search by keyword. If the job post says "Excel" and "reporting" and your resume does not, you can be missed even when you have the skills.
How to use the results
- Add a missing word only if it is true for you.
- Use the same wording as the job post, for example "customer support" rather than "helping clients".
- Put the most important words in your summary and your recent roles.

Is my resume uploaded anywhere?
No. The check runs in your browser and nothing is sent or stored.
Is this the same as an ATS score?
No. It is a simple word match, useful as a quick guide. Real tracking systems differ, so always keep your resume honest and readable.
Should I add every missing keyword?
No. Add only the words that truthfully describe your experience.
