Applicant tracking systems (ATS) often filter resumes based on keywords. To increase your chances of getting noticed, strategically include relevant keywords throughout your resume that accurately describe your skills and experience for the specific job.

For relevant keywords, copy the job description into a word cloud generator (e.g., Free Word Cloud Generator) and use the generated terms in your resume.

Also, don’t forget to highlight soft skills on your resume! Search online for “best soft skills list” to identify terms that best reflect your personality. Then, incorporate these skills into your resume’s skills section.
