Well, how’s this for consistency? A new resume tip posted exactly one week apart!
Here goes:
A resume skills section should be SEO heaven. Make it keyword heavy – get found in databases.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. The idea here is simple – think of the words a recruiter or HR manager might use to find someone with your qualifications and find a place to put them in.
For example. Let’s say your an online media sales person. A recruiter might use the terms ‘Sales’ and ‘CPM’ to find you. So make sure those words are on your resume – and if you can’t find a logical place in the content, find a way to stick them into the Skills section.
Happy hunting as always!
