How to use these

Keywords get you read. Context gets you hired.

  1. Match the posting first.The list above is a strong baseline, but the keywords that matter most are the ones in the exact job description you're applying to.
  2. Put them in context. Work each keyword into a real bullet point or skill line - ATS filters weight keywords inside your experience over a bare list.
  3. Quantify. Pair a keyword with a number wherever you can (architected X by Y%). Recruiters scan for measurable outcomes.
  4. Check your match.Paste your resume and the job description into Cvali to see which of these keywords you're missing before you apply.

FAQ

Solutions Architect resume keyword questions

How many keywords should a solutions architect resume have?

Where do these keywords go on the resume?

Spread them across your skills section, job bullet points, and summary. ATS filters weight keywords that appear in context (inside experience) more than a bare skills list.

Will copying these guarantee I pass the ATS?

No - they're a starting point. The keywords that matter most are the ones in the specific job posting. Paste your resume and that job description into Cvali to see your real match score.
