In more detail

Keywords are a clarity check, not padding

Recruiters and their tooling often search CVs for role-relevant terms, so wording matters. But stuffing in keywords you can't back up tends to backfire in a human read or an interview.

The goal is to make real experience legible: if you've done the work, the scan helps you describe it in language that matches how the role is framed.

How to use a keyword review well

Look for genuine experience that your current wording hides, then state it plainly and specifically. Replace vague phrasing with concrete, role-relevant detail.

Re-run the scan for each role you care about. The terms that matter shift between job descriptions, so a per-role pass beats one fixed list.

Simple workflow

Match real experience to the role

1. Scan with the role context

Add the job description so the review reflects what that role asks for.

2. Find the signals you're missing

Spot relevant experience that's present but buried, or wording that's too generic.

3. Clarify, don't stuff

Sharpen real experience into clearer language instead of padding with terms.

Questions

Should I stuff keywords into my CV?

No. Use keyword checks to clarify real experience, not to add unsupported terms.

Can this help with different roles?

Yes. Scan with the role context you care about, then adjust your edits to that application.
