3 Online Resume Tips | Job Hunting Video Lecture | Create first impression with your Resume:Learn tips & tricks - Career Development

"The thing about doing an online resume is
you have so much more opportunity to tell
the potential hiring manager about you.
Whether it be your portfolio, the opportunity
to upload video, links to websites, to work
that you've actually done in the past, you
can add so much more to your resume than just
your average skills, abilities, experiences.
The other thing about applying online that
you need to consider is search engine optimization.
A lot of times it is actually a computer who
is initially reviewing your resume, so you
need to make sure that you have words included
within your online resume that this computer
is going to find as being a fit between you
and this company.
So the best thing that you want to do is go
onto the website of the company, make sure
that you're using comparable kind of language.
Look at the job description, so that you're
using the exact words.
This is not the opportunity, or the time,
to get creative.
You don't want to describe the job or the
work that you've had in the past in some creative
kind of way that is going to get missed.
So please make sure that you are using very
specific and tactical words in describing
your experience when using an online resume.
