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 Patient Care inside a real project or work bullet, not only in the skills list.
- Mention tools like ICU and BSc Nursing 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.
