The next step is to look out for keywords that denote the skills they are looking for their ideal candidate to possess.

For example: Managing the product life cycle from strategic planning to tactical activities.

I have created this simple Key skills tracker that would help you keep track of these keywords and you can determine if you are competent enough to apply them. If you do not, you have the opportunity to improve in that area so that you can increase your confidence in your application.
