Increasing Your Resume's Searchability

Start with your existing, traditional printed resume, (or your Cyber-Safe Resume, if you have one) and modify it to be "searchable."

Think of the way that you use an Internet search engine. You search using "key words," the words that you think will be on the Web site that you want to find. That's exactly the same way that employers and recruiters find your resume in the millions of resumes available on-line today. They search using the words that are on the job description, typically a list of skills, experience, education, and other requirements of the job.

 Sponsor:
what where
job title, keywords or company
Employers: post your jobs
city, state or zip jobs by Indeed

In addition to the information on this page, check out the additional informaton available on Developing Key Words.

The content of a "searchable" resume is designed to leverage typical search technology in:

  • Web job site resume databases
  • Company applicant tracking systems
  • Web search engines (for the HTML version)

As specifically as you can, state your job objective, so that recruiters and employers who find it will know whether or not you would be interested in their opportunity.

Now, make your resume Cyber-Safe, and you'll be ready to change the format!
