Read the posting like a recruiter wrote it, because one did. The required skills, the certifications, the tools, and the job title itself are the terms that recruiter will type into the ATS search later. The posting is the keyword list, published in advance.
Work through it with a highlighter. Mark every named skill, tool, credential, and title, then sort your marks into two piles: terms you can claim with a straight face and terms you cannot. The first pile goes into your resume in the exact spelling the posting uses.
Ignore generic filler like hard worker and team player; nobody searches a database for those. The searchable terms are concrete nouns. And place them inside real accomplishment bullets, since the person who ran the search is about to read the page they retrieved.
“The employer published the answer key with the exam, and people still study everything except the posting.”
