How to put them in your resume (without keyword stuffing)

Mirror the posting, not this list

This table tells you what the market asks for; each application should mirror that specific description's wording. Paste the posting into Refynes and the AI Tailor rewrites your bullets around its exact keywords.

Attach every keyword to evidence

"Cross-functional collaboration" in a skills list is weak. "Cross-functional collaboration" inside an achievement bullet with a number is what convinces both the ATS and the recruiter.

Keep the formatting machine-readable

Single column for the parsing layer, standard section names, no tables or text boxes. Every Refynes template exports ATS-safe PDF and DOCX.
