Speak the gatekeeper’s language, honestly, so a human actually sees your resume. Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems to sort applications by how closely they match the job posting. This worksheet walks you through it step by step: pull the exact keywords from the job description, match each one to experience you really have, and format your resume so the software can read it. It includes an AI prompt to speed up the keyword search and a 60-second final review. Fill out 1 for each job you apply to. It takes about 5 minutes.
