What this tool does

A job posting is a list of what the employer wants. The extractor counts which meaningful words and phrases appear most, notes whether they come from a requirements or preferred section, and highlights known tools, skills, and soft skills. If you paste your resume, it marks each term as present or missing.

How to use the results

  1. Review the top terms and ignore generic words that do not describe a skill.
  2. Mark terms that honestly describe your experience.
  3. Add them to your skills section and, more importantly, to experience bullets that show how you used them.
  4. Use the posting's wording for tools, job titles, and credentials.
  5. Skip anything you could not explain in an interview.

Reading the categories

  • Top terms: words repeated most often. Repetition signals priority.
  • Required and preferred: the tool looks at section headings such as Requirements or Nice to have. If a posting has no headings, this label stays empty.
  • Two-word phrases: phrases that appear at least twice, such as "project management".
  • Tools and skills found: matches from a built-in list of common tools, methods, and credentials.
  • Soft skills: traits mentioned in the text, best shown through examples.

Avoid keyword stuffing

Extracted keywords are a guide, not a script. Copying the posting or repeating terms unnaturally makes a resume harder to read and less credible. See how to avoid keyword stuffing and how to extract keywords by hand.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tool understand every industry?

It works on any text, but its list of tools and skills covers common ones in tech, marketing, finance, project management, and healthcare. Always judge relevance yourself.

How many keywords should I use?

There is no fixed number. Use the important terms that are true for you, naturally, in your skills section and bullets.

Is my job description or resume stored?

No. The analysis runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Why are some words missing?

Very common words and general terms are filtered out so the list focuses on specific skills and topics.
