Resume keywords are the key to having your resume be found in online job portals, resume banks, and application tracking systems.

Use keywords to give concrete information rather that abstract. The idea is to show/prove that you have these qualities and not just say them. You don't want to come across as if you just want to promote yourself with these "buzz words". Communicate accomplishments rather than tasks in your past job. Measurable quantifiable results are what employers like to see.

Start from a recorded baseline data at the beginning of your involvement. Examples of metrics to track and record are: production levels, customer satisfaction levels, customer retention rates, customer acquisition rates and sales goals accomplishments. Think #s, $s and %. But accomplishments with-out a relative measure may not provide the complete picture. Therefore it is important to compare it with other statistics like industry averages and medians.

Resume advise? How about job notification. I'm a 99'er who has just run out of benefits with out a job. During my entire 99 weeks I have only received 5 (FIVE) job notifications from the department of labor. I already knew about all FIVE of these because they were posted on all of the local job search web sites before I received anything from the Binghamton office. I think that 99 percent of your services could easily be outsourced to Indian telemarketers and NY would save a bundle.
