Publishing Careers: Resume Keyword Tricks and Traps
From Lori Cates Hand, of Publishing Careers:
Career professionals have been conscious of resume keywords for close to a decade now, so this is not a revolutionary topic. However, more and more everyday people are beginning to grasp and use the concept. So his tips are insightful and timely:
- Use every commonly known synonym for your skills. For example, include both “security” and “collateral” to cover your bases in case a manager searches for one and not the other.
- Be sure to include brand names associated with your company, especially if they are more well known than the company itself.
