Check which of these your resume already has

Copy the terms that are genuinely true of your experience, then run the free match checker — it shows exactly which of the posting's terms your resume covers and which are missing.

How recruiters use these terms

Recruiters run Boolean searches that OR together title variants and AND them with must-have skills, then ATS platforms rank applications by how literally the resume matches the posting. That's why the exact product name, certification code, or title variant matters: "SIEM experience" doesn't match a search for a specific platform name, and a title variant you never carry is a search that never finds you. Work the honest terms into your headline, summary, skills block, and experience bullets — placement near the top of page one carries more weight than repetition.
