Keywords in your Profile
More than 90 percent of resumes are searched for job-specific keywords. Therefore, if you apply for a job with a company that searches databases for keywords, and your resume doesn't have the keywords the company seeks for the person who fills that job, you are pretty much dead in the water.
The summary/profile sections mentioned above under Focus can be important for front-loading your resume with these all-important keywords. (Lack of front-loaded keywords decreases ability to match resume to potential jobs quickly at critical first- and second-level scanning.) Some career experts recommend a section of industry-specific keywords, labelled with a heading such as Areas of Expertise, Core Competencies, or Key Proficiencies. Other career gurus disdain these keyword sections because they list disembodied words with no context. They would prefer to see the keywords embedded in contextual accomplishments statements.
We at Resume Blaster make the necessary amendment to your profile for highlighting the right keywords and our intelligent system make a perfect match with the requirement and your profile. Please check the keyword in the "Your Score" section and do let us know if you would like to add/remove any keywords for your profile.
If you decide on a keyword section, consider displaying them in a reader-friendly way.
