Having trouble getting in for an interview? Not hard to believe since it's most likely hundreds of people are applying for the same job you are. Many companies are using keyword-search software to wade through the giant file of applicants, so if you aren't including the key words of the job description in your resume, your submission may never even be seen by human eyes!

Here are a few hints:

• Go to the potential job description and identify the most important aspects of the job duties.
• Single out the descriptors/keywords.
• Make sure you include these words when presenting your experience.
• Be as succinct as possible. Imagine you're the one looking through a large file of resumes!

Another thought, run your resume for a particular job by a friend and ask if they know the job title or position you are applying for.

And, GOOD LUCK!
