With our Job Matching tool, you can select a job you've bookmarked and see how it matches up against your resume!
We'll surface keywords from the Job Description that speak to the core qualifications, responsibilities, and requirements for you to then incorporate into your resume. If you see a keyword in the Job Summary that wasn’t originally surfaced, you can now add your own custom keyword.
Read on to learn how!
NOTE: The ability to add custom keywords from the Job Summary is a Teal+ feature.
Adding Custom Keywords
If you see a keyword in the Job Summary that wasn’t originally surfaced, you can add your own custom keywords, either from the Keywords tab or the Job Description tab.
Adding Custom Keywords in the Keywords Tab
Navigate to the “Keywords” tab and find the “Custom Keywords” section. Here, you can create a keyword that you were looking for that wasn’t included in the original surfaced list.
You can then make adjustments to your resume to include that custom keyword, which will reflect in your Match Score and keyword status!
Adding Custom Keywords in the Job Description Tab
From the Job Description tab, you can access a side-by-side view of the Keywords list and the Job Summary generated from the attached role. To add a custom keyword from here, click "Create Keyword" under the "My Keywords" section, then enter and save the keyword.
Matched Custom Keywords
Similar to the "Matched Keywords" section, for custom keywords that are already matched, you can toggle "Highlight" on to show you exactly where they are in the resume. You can also highlight all of your matched custom keywords at once by checking the "Highlight All" option!
Adding and Removing Keywords
As you're reviewing your list of keywords, you can hover over each one to find three actions you can take with them: (1) Add to Skills, (2) Copy to Clipboard, and (3) Ignore/Delete Keyword.
Add a Keyword to Skills
If you've added or seen keyword that hasn't appeared in your resume and you'd like to list as a skill, you can do so directly from the Job Description tab.
Hover over the word you'd like to add to your Skills section, then select the "+" sign. That keyword should now be listed with your other skills!
Copy a Keyword to Clipboard
From the same Job Description tab, hover over the word you'd like to copy and select the paper symbol. After the keyword has been copied to your clipboard, you can paste it into the area of your resume you'd like to add it to!
Ignoring/Deleting Keywords
If a surfaced keyword doesn't feel totally relevant, or you're not interested in focusing on that element of the job description, you can choose to "ignore" it.
From the Job Description tab, hover over the word you'd like to ignore, and click on the circle-backslash symbol.
Depending on how many keywords you ignore, you may see your Match Score improve. This is because you will be matching from a smaller pool of keywords.
Note: For custom keywords, the "Ignore" option is replaced with "Delete."
