Seeking a good job opportunity is becoming an extremely challenging online battle with the advent of a number of platforms and new emerging platforms. The professional is at his wits end trying to keep track of his resume and the matching opportunity on the various portals he has opted for. To add to the problem is the dependence on technology which has introduced the concept of “Keywords” which assists the Recruiter in identification of a suitable prospect.
 
Keywords are words or short phrases that relate to a particular Job requirement. They are generally skills, expertise, abilities, credentials and qualities that a Recruiter / Hiring Manager look for in a candidate.
 
A few Examples for Keywords…
 
Business Strategy, Sales Strategy, Sales & Marketing, Profit Centre Management, Market Share Improvement, Distribution Network Management, Business Development, New Initiatives & Product Development, Strategic Alliances & Partnerships, Top-line Growth, Team Building & Mentoring, Team Management, Customer Strategy, Exports Management, Supply Chain Management, Key Account Management, New Market Development, New Product Development, Network Management, etc.
