About Keyword Matcher
Keyword Matcher compares a job description with your resume and shows which of the skills and keywords the employer asks for you already mention. It recognises several hundred skills across software, data, design, business and soft skills, including common spellings and abbreviations, so “JS” counts as JavaScript and “K8s” as Kubernetes. Matching is whole-word: Java does not match JavaScript, and short words like UI do not match inside other words. The matcher reads the structure of the post too. Skills under a Requirements or Must-have heading count three times as much as those under Nice to have, and repeated skills count a little more. It also picks up product names and acronyms the post repeats that are not in its list. Click any keyword to see the line of the job post that mentions it. Results update as you type, and you can upload your resume as a PDF or DOCX. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Only add skills you really have, and work them into bullet points that show how you used them.
