Where to place keywords

  • Professional summary: target role, domain, and strongest tools.
  • Skills section: clean list of tools, platforms, frameworks, and certifications.
  • Experience bullets: keyword plus action, result, scale, or metric.
  • Projects: especially important for freshers, career switchers, and tech roles.

Avoid keyword stuffing

  • Add C/C++ inside a real project or work bullet, not only in the skills list.
  • Mention tools like RTOS and ARM Cortex near outcomes, reports, releases, or responsibilities.
  • Use the exact job-description spelling when it is truthful: ATS systems often match literal terms.
  • Support every keyword with proof, such as project size, team size, revenue, time saved, volume handled, or accuracy improved.

Common missing keyword problems

No microcontroller or platform mentioned

Missing protocol names (CAN, LIN, Ethernet)
