Use the posting's exact wording (the ATS matches literal terms, not synonyms).
Put hard skills and tools in a clear Skills section, and show them in action in your experience bullets.
Re-check keywords for each posting — every job asks for a slightly different set. See our guide on tailoring your resume to a job description.
