Simple equation right? A resume including keywords equals a resume being found by recruiters and hiring managers, which means job opportunities.
Keywords are important to have on your resume because with the few seconds recruiters and hiring managers look at a resume, something better jump out at them to make them look longer.
Keywords can include:
• “Buzz” words
• Specific skills
• Industry terminology and jargon
• Locations
• Area and zip codes
• Acronyms
• Technology terms
• Product names
• Software
• Types of Degrees
• Certifications
• Types of Degrees and colleges
• Company names
If you want to be found and have your resume stand out over others, include keywords that recruiters and hiring managers might be looking for when searching for that perfect candidate.
