🧩 Why Keywords Are Critical

❗ When you apply for jobs, you’re not only competing with people but also with ATS systems and recruiter search filters.

👉 Keywords are the bridge between your skills and what recruiters are searching for.

💡 Callout: Without the right keywords, your resume may never reach a human recruiter and your LinkedIn profile won’t appear in searches.

🔎 Step 1: How to Identify Keywords

Look for keywords in:

• Job Titles → “Full Stack Developer,” “Data Scientist,” “SOC Analyst.”
• Skills & Tools → Python, React, Splunk.
• Certifications → CompTIA Security+, AWS Certified.
• Methodologies → Agile, CI/CD, Regression Testing.
