So, job candidates you want more attention on your online resumes.  Well, one marketing and resume writing consultant has some good tips for you.  I’ll sum them up in one word: keywords.

Keywords, Keywords – Did you know that resumes are ranked by the repetitive use of specific keywords?  Find out which keywords employers/recruiters are looking for, relative to the job you’re interested in and use them in your resume.

Critical Keywords – Job Titles/Job Descriptions – Keep it simple when it comes to job titles and job descriptions.  For example, you can use as a job title “marketing analyst” and as a job description “market analysis”.  Use your job title and job description throughout your resume.

Synonyms – While you may have a particular job title and description to use in your resume, there are probably similar keyword titles and descriptions.  Include these in your resume to increase the chances of employers/recruiters finding the keywords they’re searching for.

Remember, a big factor to succeeding with your online resume is based on using keywords.
