What Are Companies Looking For?

Exceeding Your Expectations

Did You Know?

Companies use search engines to look for the key words that they use in their job descriptions.

For example:

Job description: Looking for an enthusiastic individual with excellent communication skills and a proven track record of successfully yielding great results.

Your Resume:

College Writing Tutor (Fall 2015-Spring 2018) Worked with students to yield improved performances in the academic setting.  Over the course of my time as a College Writing Tutor, I created a proven track record of successful student clients, while also improving their individual writing abilities.

Unique

Companies do not want to see the same profile over and over again.  Make your's unique.  Get certifications, different licenses, gain experience and set yourself apart from the crowd.  Making a positive and professional first impression is the first key in catching an employer's eye.

Individualize

It is easy to send in the same version of your resume to 10 companies.  But what if you individualized your resume to fit the profile that the company is looking for?   By using key words from the job description, you can catch the eye of your future employer.
