Today’s job seeker has to go through “fire (job search), water (interviews) and copper pipes (bureaucratic formalities)” to get a job…thinks that very same job seeker when the time comes to look for a job. But…I’m all for treating this process not as torture, but as a game or an interesting challenge, and most importantly, as an opportunity to move forward. But in solving any task, it’s good to know the “cheater tricks”. And one of them is using keywords in resumes for job sites.
Why is this necessary?
First of all, the more recruiters are looking not even by job title or not only by job title, but make additional requests for specific parameters they need.
Secondly, all job sites now use artificial intelligence in the candidate search engine. And he is more willing to show the employer those resumes where there are more words that match the words from the vacancy.
In – third will be a reason to remember what else you can write about in the resume.
In general, how to use it: take keywords and actively use in the text of the resume, based on your experience. And you will be happy.
Common for all HR: HR – projects, assessment, adaptation, training, talent pool, HR – brand, internal communications, corporate culture, HR – bot, consulting.
Recruitment: Executive Search, IT recruitment, direct search, mass recruitment, search in social networks, search for top managers/executives, recruitment automation, recruitment agency, competency-based interviews, vacancies, resumes, interviews, digital, hiring, cold search, Linkedin, job profile, candidate database, sourcing, labor market research, working with candidate databases, candidate screening, internships, working with students, HiPo, labor market monitoring, job profile, outplacement.
As you can see, different verbs can be used with the same word to reflect your actual experience or level of proficiency in a particular skill. We can’t know in advance what really happens “on the other side of the barricades” and what level of specialist the recruiter is looking for for this or that request. But your chances of getting into his selection of candidates for more detailed consideration immediately grow, and whether your experience is suitable or not under the request, he will find out when studying your resume in more detail.
Keywords can be in any part of the resume: in the title of the position, duties, skills, in the column “about yourself”, education. Also, depending on the structure of the company, you may have experience in different areas and use keywords from different blocks in your resume.
Similar lists can be made as well for other positions, and the same keywords in the resume can be used by professionals with completely different experience, skills and experience. The question is how this experience will be reflected. Some will be implementing and developing a corporate portal, while others will be administering and preparing content for a corporate portal.
Have fun with your resume and enjoy your job search!
