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 API Documentation inside a real project or work bullet, not only in the skills list.
  • Mention tools like Confluence and DITA 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.
