Keyword Architecture

Before a human reads closely, an ATS may parse your resume and route it by title, skills, and keywords. The system is not magic; it rewards clear matching language. If the posting says project management, your resume should say that phrase plainly.

Mirror the job description where it is honest. Use the same titles, tools, and top skills they use, then weave them into real achievements. Do not stuff keywords or hide white text; humans still read the finalist resumes, and tricks make you look careless.
