Keyword Optimization for ATS

Keywords are the terms and phrases that ATS systems look for when matching resumes to job descriptions.

Types of Keywords

  • Hard Skills: Python, Excel, Data Analysis, AWS
  • Soft Skills: Leadership, Communication, Problem-solving
  • Industry Terms: Agile, SaaS, B2B, KPIs
  • Certifications: PMP, CPA, AWS Certified
  • Job Titles: Project Manager, Software Engineer

How to Find Keywords

  1. Read the job description carefully
  2. Highlight repeated terms and requirements
  3. Note both acronyms AND full forms
  4. Look at similar job postings

Where to Place Keywords

  • Professional summary
  • Skills section
  • Work experience bullet points
  • Certifications section
Warning: Never stuff keywords or list skills you don't have. ATS may pass you, but you'll fail the human interview.
