-: Key words in a resume are definitely important.
Most times when a student applies for a job
it's gonna be through the internet,
and companies use what's called
applicant tracking systems these days.
If a student doesn't have the proper key words
in their resume and if their resume has errors in it
or isn't formatted properly,
the applicant tracking system won't notice their resume.
So that's very important.
If a student doesn't use key words in their resume,
they risk not being seen.
The first thing in most companies is that the applicant
tracking system will notice that first
before an actual person reads the resume.
If there are over 300 people applying for a job,
I tell the students don't risk being disqualified
before you're actually even noticed.
You can't leave any stone unturned.
You have to use all the tools and all the tricks
in order to get noticed
and get that first, initial interview.
