The Power of Keywords: Getting Found by Recruiters for Administrative Roles
Longview, WA - October 30, 2023
Today’s job market can be
overwhelmingly competitive, especially when you’re applying for administrative
roles in a specific industry. You may have an outstanding resume with great
experience but still struggle to get that interview. Why? You may need to
optimize your application with keywords. In this blog by a leader in career hiring,
you’ll find out more about using keywords to get found by recruiters.
Relevant Industry Keywords
Recruiters use industry
specific terminology to filter out applications. It’s important that you
understand the language used in the industry you’ve chosen and tailor your
applications to include them. Using industry-specific keywords to highlight
your knowledge and experience will make sure you don’t get passed over when
recruiters are looking for the right candidates.
Action Words
Including action words in
your application can make a big difference. Action words will show recruiters
what you’ve done in your past employments and see how you contributed to an
organization. Use keywords like “managed” and “implemented” to describe the
things you did in your previous roles. You can use related verbs, like
“coordinated”, for administrative roles.
Synonyms
Recruiters like to use
different keywords to describe the same skills, so using synonyms in your
application can be helpful. If the job description requires “customer service
skills”, you can say “client relations” in your resume to describe the same skillset.
Using synonyms can help increase the chances of your application getting
chosen.
Conclusion
Keywords play an important
role in getting your application noticed by recruiters. Remember these tips,
and you’ll increase your chances of securing an interview and being one step
closer to landing the job. If you’re looking for more help finding a job,
