ATS Keyword Gap Finder
What it does
Finds the exact keywords from a job description missing from your resume, and shows how to add each one naturally — because tracking software filters on exact matches before any human looks.
When to use it
- Final check after tailoring, before submitting
- Applying through big-company portals (heaviest ATS filtering)
- Strong on paper, silent inbox
The skill
My resume: [PASTE]
The job description: [PASTE]
1. Extract the keywords and phrases an applicant tracking system
would likely scan for: hard skills, tools, certifications,
role-specific terms. Mark which appear in the posting more than
once — those weigh heaviest.
2. Show me which are MISSING from my resume, in a simple table:
Keyword | Where it appears in the posting | Suggested natural
placement in my resume.
3. For each, write the actual revised bullet — natural phrasing, not
keyword stuffing. If I don't genuinely have a skill, say "skip —
don't claim this" instead of forcing it in.

Tweaks
- Both spelled-out and abbreviated forms matter (“Search Engine Optimization (SEO)”)
- Rerun for every application — every posting scans differently
