Resume keywords

Creating a resume can be a labor-intensive experience.
You need to summarize
- what you've done and
- what you're capable of doing
in the most effective way possible.
What matter, are the words you choose.
-> The backbone to most resume databases are keyword searches.
A great way to determine the buzzwords generally searched for by a particular industry is to peruse job openings on career Web sites and the Web sites of the types of companies you are interested in working for.
-> Read the job descriptions carefully to see which skills and credentials are in demand.
-> Pay attention to buzzwords that you can incorporate into your resume.
-> Try to use all possible combinations of keywords that describe the job you seek.
