Make Sure that Keywords Work for the Benefit of Your Resume
Most of us assume
keywords only really matter when it comes to getting your
resume past a bot and into human hands. A new survey of over 3
million resumes, all ranked by hiring managers, reveals that keywords
are still important to people, too, and leaving them off could
cost you an interview.
What also matters is
a consistent story about your experience.
Hiring
Managers
at ZipRecruiter - who rated
over
3 million resumes in
their database with scores between 1
and 5
stars - put
resumes with working
keywords higher than
those without them.
According to
ZipRecruiter, using these
Power Keywords in your resume can increase your chance of a 5
Star rating by up to 70%: Experience;
Management;
Project;
Development; Business; Skill; Professional; Knowledge; Year; Team;
Leadership.
But: remember
that keyword stuffing at the same time can lead your
resume being discarded. Make sure you only
include words that are relevant to your skills.
Another surprisising
detail which came out of the survey was that resumes
between 600-700 words were rated higher than resumes
shorter than 500 words or over
700 words. Ratings dropped off on either side pretty
quickly, so the question: does your resume need to be longer
or shorter
is
the sweet spot.
