What this tool helps you do
This public page explains the tool and routes you into the protected CareerDad app flow. It does not run the private tool logic publicly.
- Separates must-have requirements from nice-to-have language
- Surfaces repeated skills, tools, and responsibilities
- Shows where your CV needs truthful evidence
- Helps avoid copying the advert without proof
Who should use this tool
- Applicants who are not sure which advert terms matter
- People tailoring CVs for ATS screening
- Career changers trying to map transferable experience
- Students and graduates reading job descriptions for the first time
Why this matters before applying
- Job adverts often contain the language recruiters and ATS systems expect to see.
- Keyword extraction helps you decide what to prove, not just what to paste.
- Understanding the advert improves your CV, cover letter, and interview preparation.
Example input and output
Example input
Input: A job advert asks for stakeholder communication, Excel reporting, CRM updates, escalations, monthly dashboards, and remote team coordination.
Example output
Example output: Priority keywords include stakeholder communication, Excel reporting, CRM, escalation handling, dashboards, and remote coordination. Your CV should prove these where true instead of listing them without context.
Example outputs are educational illustrations, not promises of exact product output or job outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
Is keyword extraction the same as keyword stuffing?
No. Extraction helps you understand the advert. Keyword stuffing means adding terms without evidence, which can weaken trust.
Can I use this without a real job advert?
You can learn the process here, but the protected scanner works best with a real job description from a role you want.
Where should keywords go on my CV?
Use important terms naturally in your summary, skills, and especially work-history bullets where you can prove them.
