How to use extracted keywords

Once you have your keyword list, work through them top to bottom. High-priority keywords (usually certifications, specific tools, and exact job titles) should appear in your resume verbatim. Medium-priority keywords should be woven naturally into your bullet points. Lower-priority keywords can be added to a skills section.

Don't keyword stuff

Adding keywords unnaturally — like listing them in white text or cramming them into sentences that don't make sense — will backfire. Modern ATS systems and human reviewers both flag this. Weave keywords into genuine achievement statements. That's what RoleReady's bullet rewriter does automatically.
