Including keywords from a job ad in your resume

With the employment market currently being so competitive, it is more imperative than ever to have your resume closely matches the job announcements you’re applying to. This means doing the extra work of customizing your resume writing for each position, which you can do by not only focusing on the experience and education they’re looking for but also by including keywords present in the job ads.

Including these keywords is essential as it will show employers you have what they’re looking for. In addition since most HR use resume scanning software to filter out unqualified applicants, having the right keywords will ensure your resume makes the cut and is actually read by the employer or HR person.
