Where is a good website to get a list of keywords to use for my resume?
Asked by broo204
Im looking for a good website to get a list of keywords that I can use when Im posting my resume with job site search engines, and fortune 500 companies. This helps when you have a target job that you are looking for. the more key words the better.

Hello, I have a couple of suggestions for you. First, look at the job description of the position you are applying for. Include some of the words in the job description within your resume. This may help get the resume noticed in job search engines. I have included 2 links to 2 posts about using power (or action) words within your resume. I hope they help you out. You can also use www.thesaurus.com to give you ideas if you feel you are using the same word too much. Good luck.

This is a site that has examples of resumes; not sure if it has any lists of keywords but I am sure you could find some good keywords on the examples to use if nothing else. Might be worth trying :)
