Why keywords matter
Most employers screen resumes with an applicant tracking system (ATS) that searches for the skills in the job post. If a requirement isn’t on your resume in words the system recognizes, a recruiter may never see it.

Guide
How to use your results
Add only what’s true
Work missing keywords into your experience bullets only if you have the skill. Interviewers will ask about anything on your resume.
Put them where they count
A keyword in a result (“Deployed 120 laptops with Intune”) counts for more with a reader than one in a skills list. Use both.
Tailor every application
Each job post weights different skills. Scan your resume against every post you apply to and adjust the top third of your resume to match.

FAQs
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Find quick answers or contact our support team.
Is my resume uploaded anywhere?
No. The scan runs entirely in your browser; nothing you paste leaves your device.
What’s a good match score?
Aim for 70% or more on the keywords you genuinely have. A perfect score isn’t the goal; a resume that clearly shows the post’s top requirements is.
Does this check formatting for ATS?
It checks the things that commonly trip up screening: clear section headings, contact details, measurable results and length. Keep formatting simple: no tables, text boxes or images for key information.
Can OpenpassAI rewrite my resume for a job?
Yes. The AI Resume Optimizer tailors your resume to a specific job post and your certifications, and explains every change.
