Frequently asked
What keywords should I put on my resume from a job description?
The keywords most worth mirroring are the must-haves: explicit skills, tools, certifications, years of experience, and degrees mentioned in the job description. Nice-to-haves (preferred or bonus skills) are worth including if you have them. Soft skills like communication or collaboration should be shown through bullets, not just listed. This tool categorizes all three for you in seconds.
Why does keyword extraction matter for my job application?
Most large companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that filter resumes by keywords before a human ever sees them. If your resume doesn't mirror the language of the JD, you can be screened out even when you're a strong fit. Matching the exact phrases the recruiter wrote is the cheapest, biggest win in any application.
How is this different from doing it manually?
You can absolutely highlight a JD by hand. The AI version is faster, separates must-haves from nice-to-haves, and explains why each keyword matters — useful when you're applying to many jobs in a session. It also catches phrases recruiters scan for that humans tend to miss.
Do you store my job description?
We store the AI's analysis (so you can share the result link) but only a 200-character excerpt of the original JD. Results auto-delete after 30 days, and we don't use your input to train models.
What's the catch?
No catch — this tool is free and unlimited within reasonable rate limits. We hope you'll like it enough to try the full JobFit, which actually rewrites your resume to match the JD.
Is this better than ChatGPT?
For this specific task, the structured output is sharper. ChatGPT will give you a paragraph; this gives you a categorized, ranked list with explanations — and a shareable link.
