Finding relevant keywords in the job description is important for a few reasons. 

  • It will give you an idea of what keywords to include on your resume
  • Having a resume that matches keywords from the job description will help you get past the ATS
  • Using the same wording as the job description shows the recruiter you are paying attention and are qualified for the position
