Target your Resume - Look for Keywords in the Job Description

  Target your Resume - Look for Keywords in the Job Description

Just do not submit your resume when interested in a job your saw posted online. Analyze each job description for keywords that show what the employer is seeking as qualification and include those keywords in your resume in the "Core Strengths" (keyword section) as well as in experience and summary where relevant.

For example, if the position is for a marketing manager, an employer might list keywords like "marketing communications," "campaign management," "A/B Testing" o in the job description. Pay particular attention to anything listed in the "Requirements" or "Qualifications" sections - this will make your analysis and tweaking of your resume easier and less time consuming.

Great advice I just saw on LinkedIn

Job titles vary wildly across companies. What’s a “Supervising Producer” at one place might be a “Talent Lead” or “Department Head” at another. Don’t let terminology keep you from finding your fit.

Resume Targeting - Keywords

 In order to target your resume, you need to be sure the keywords are related to the job you are applying. Therefore, conduct some research into resume keywords that are specific to the position and the industry. A 'Google" search for the "Job Title" "Keywords" will provide fruitful results.

At this point, added these terms to the "Core Skills" section of the resume. Then, take a look at some job descriptions and take note of which keywords they have in common, making adjustments to match the job description.

Keywords

  Keywords:

Resumes written with best practices in mind should always have a section (ex. Core Strengths) that showcase keywords that are related to your skills AND the position of interest. This words are included so the applicant tracking systems (ATS) system the company is using can ID you as a qualified candidate but, equally as important, so the reader (aka - the eyeballs) can easily see that you are a qualified candidate.

Core Competencies / Signature Strengths / Areas of Expertise...

This are titles I use in a resume for a section that emphasizes skills or "key words". Many job seekers identify these skills, place on their resume but neglect to alter the section based on the terms used in the job description.

You must alter the terms to match the job description or you may score lower in the applicant tracking systems (ATS). No, it is not a pain. It is 2-3 minutes of your time and as far as I am concerned, a mandatory step.
