Questions about the keyword finder

What does the keyword finder do?

It reads a job description and lists the terms an applicant tracking system screens it for: skills, tools, certifications and the work the role involves. Each gets a score from 1 to 10 and a note on where it belongs on a resume.

How are the keywords scored?

Must-have keywords score 5 to 10 and nice-to-haves 1 to 6. Terms the job description leads with, and comes back to more often, score higher.

Is it free?

Yes, with a free Chills account. Finding keywords uses no tailoring, only one of the 40 AI requests every account can make each day.

Can it check my resume?

Yes. Pick one of your saved resumes and see which keywords it already has, which appear only in your skills, and which are missing, with a match score.

Is my job description saved?

No. The job description is used to find the keywords and is not stored. It is saved only if you go on to tailor a resume to it and apply the changes.
