Deal with auto-suggested skills on job portals

I've noticed auto-suggested skills on job portals can be nonsense or generic, but leaving them in can increase match rate if software-generated

What I wish I knew
"More about how hiring companies use these tags"
If I could tell you one thing
"Double-check and remove irrelevant skills, but leave in generic ones if software-generated"
