What you're building

You're building a mini version of the applicant-tracking-system filters real companies use -- paste a job posting and your resume side by side, and it tells you your keyword overlap percentage plus a plain list of important words from the posting that your resume is missing. It's pure word-matching, not real language understanding, but it's exactly the kind of check that decides whether a human ever sees your resume.
