Since many companies use software to scan electronic resumes for keywords, this article gives tips on finding the essential keywords to include in order to make one’s resume stand out. While certain keywords may differ by industry, the article indicates which keywords are universally recognized and respected by prospective employers and emphasizes that the keywords must ultimately convey the job hunter’s potential value. Proper formatting of one’s electronic resume is also discussed.
