Resume keyword checker for data analysts

Paste your resume and a data analyst job posting. See which of the posting's keywords your resume shows and which are missing.

Your resume stays in your browser: what you paste or open here isn't sent anywhere unless you choose to continue. This page counts visits with Google Analytics and runs no advertising pixels.

The checker runs in your browser. Keyword coverage is which of this job's keywords your resume shows, in any word form. It is a tailoring guide, not an ATS score and not a prediction of interviews. Add a keyword only where it's true for you. If you have done the work, say so in the job's words. If you haven't, leave it out.

Wording true data analyst experience in the job's terms

  • Name your query and visualization tools as the posting does: SQL, Python, Tableau, Power BI, Excel.
  • Say what your analysis was for and who used it: "Built a weekly sales dashboard in Tableau used by regional managers".
  • If you ran A/B tests, built data quality checks or automated a report, write it in one plain line.
  • Only state a result you can explain. "Found the cause of a drop in sign-ups" is fine without a number; an invented percentage is not.

How it works

  1. Paste your resume. Paste the text, or open a PDF or Word file. The file is read in your browser.
  2. Paste the job posting. The checker lists the posting's keywords: tools, credentials and skill phrases, requirements first.
  3. See found and missing. Each keyword is checked against your resume as whole words in any form, so "managed inventory" counts for "inventory management".
  4. Fix what is true. Add the missing keywords that describe experience you really have, in your own bullets, then check again.

Keywords are read from the posting by fixed rules, without AI: tool and product names, certifications and other capitalised terms, common skill phrases, items in the posting's skill lists, and phrases the posting repeats. Requirements count most. Remove any that don't fit, or add your own.

Tailor your resume to this job

Suggest rewrites your resume in the job's terms, only from what's true: it works from your own resume and this job, and you keep or discard each change.

Free to start, no credit card required. Continuing sends your resume and this job to CareerGenius so it can suggest rewrites.

Questions

I used SQL in school projects only. Can I list it?

Yes, as long as you say where: "SQL (coursework and capstone project)".

Should I write "data visualization" or the tool name?

Both, when they are true. The posting uses both, and the checker looks for each.

Is this an ATS score?

No. No tool can tell you how a particular employer's system will rank your resume, so CareerGenius doesn't show an ATS score, a pass rate or your odds of an interview. Keyword coverage only shows which of the posting's keywords your resume states.

Is my resume uploaded or stored?

No. The check runs in your browser. Your resume and the job text aren't sent to CareerGenius or anyone else unless you choose to continue to tailoring, which needs a free account. The page counts visits with Google Analytics (the page address, not what you paste) and loads no advertising pixels.

Why is a keyword I have marked missing?

The checker looks for the keyword itself in any word form ("managed" for "management"), not for a synonym. If you did the work but described it differently, use the posting's word where it is accurate.

Should I add every missing keyword?

No. Add a keyword only where it's true for you. A resume that claims a skill you don't have can cost you the interview, and the job.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed to check keywords. An account is needed only to save your resume and get rewrite suggestions for a job.
