Frequently Asked Questions
Why extract keywords from a job description?
ATS systems rank resumes by keyword overlap with the job description. Identifying the top JD keywords — and mirroring the relevant ones in your resume and cover letter — is the highest-leverage way to improve your application's ranking.
How does this extractor work?
It tokenizes the job description, removes common stopwords, computes term frequency, and surfaces technical/domain terms separately (those terms are weighted because ATS does exact matching on them). All processing runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Should I include every keyword in my resume?
No. Only mirror keywords that genuinely match your experience. Keyword stuffing is detectable by both ATS and human reviewers. The right approach: identify keywords that match your background, then weave them naturally into your bullets.
How is this different from the ATS resume checker?
The keyword extractor pulls the top terms from a JD only. The ATS resume checker compares your resume against a JD and tells you which keywords are matched and which are missing. Use the extractor early in your application process; use the ATS checker before submitting.
