Resume Keyword Generator
Pick your target role to get ATS-friendly keywords and AI-era phrases — or paste a real job description and extract the keywords it screens for. Tap any keyword to copy it.
We count repeated words and match a built-in dictionary of tools, software, and skills. English job descriptions work best.
- Mirror the job ad: use the exact phrases the posting uses (e.g. "cross-functional collaboration"), not just your own synonyms.
- Weave keywords into achievement bullets, not a dead "skills list" — e.g. "Used ChatGPT and Excel to cut report prep time by 30%".
- Drop in 1–2 AI-era phrases per resume. Over-stuffing looks unnatural to both recruiters and screening systems.

What the generator produces
Choose one of fifteen target roles to get a keyword set plus a few AI-era phrases, or paste a job description and the tool counts repeated terms and matches a built-in dictionary of tools, software, and skills. Every keyword can be copied with a click. The job-description route reflects that posting's wording rather than a general role profile, which is why it is usually the more useful of the two.
Using keywords well
Mirror the exact phrases a posting uses, then place them inside achievement bullets rather than a standalone skills list. A line that says what you did with a tool and what changed is stronger than a comma-separated inventory. One or two AI-era phrases per resume is enough; stuffing more makes the document read as generated. If extraction returns very little, paste a longer section of the ad. The guide on updating your resume for the AI era covers the rest of the structure.
What the tool cannot see
It has no access to an employer's applicant tracking system, recruiter preferences, or the hidden weighting behind a posting. The dictionary is finite, and non-English descriptions are handled less reliably. Keyword overlap is not the same as relevant experience, and no combination of phrases guarantees an interview. Use the output to align your language with the role, not to substitute for evidence of what you have done.
