Tip: Key words are an essential element of an online resume.
These are the words or phrases Employers & Recruiters use to search the resume database to find a resume that matches the profile they are seeking. Can they find you? Keywords are usually nouns that are associated with specific qualifications, skills, experiences, professional certifications, organizations &/or industries, etc. Don't forget buzzwords that are unique to your industry!
If you were looking to hire someone with your qualifications, which keywords/search terms would you type into applicant-tracking software?
Tailor your resume and cover letter to each job opportunity - customize, personalize it to the needs of the company that you are trying to get noticed by.
Market yourself - a resume is your very own personal marketing brief - project a successful, positive, image, but be honest!
Match your job to your personal values
