10. The recruiter will also search for more specific criteria such as location, distance from a central geographic location based on a zip-code, as well as career levels of the applicant or the position they are trying to fill.
11. The recruiter will may also search for candidates who are willing to work in a specific state or city and/or who may need to have a US citizenship to qualify for working at the worksite.
12. The recruiter may also search for candidates who have specific security clearances (DoD), special types of skill sets, a level of education, and hours of work or contract work.
13. The return listing will populate with resumes with the ‘key words’ mentioned the most number of times in the resume (return ratio). The resumes MOST likely to be opened for review and further consideration are those with the words repeated more often within the resume than any other resume. Example: An applicant who has 20 years experience in programming but only mentions the key words twice might be much further down on a results list than a recent college graduate who has mentioned the key word 20 times with only two years of experience.

15. Employers require computing skill sets and business can’t operate without technology. Being able to use MS Office Suite is NOT enough; note in your resume what other computer skills you’ve mastered or used; don’t forget training in computer software or use of operating systems. Don’t leave anything out ! That one unique, but little known computer skill, might be just what your next boss needs. Examples: PC Operating System, Apple Leopard Operating Systems, Linux Microsoft Office, v 2003 & 2007, Power user: Visio, PowerPoint, GovWin, MS Publisher, Adobe, PageMaker Internet Based Programs: Lexis/Nexis, ELT, MySpace, Internet Browser Programming: Web Design, HTML, SQL, C++ Certifications: MSCE, Security Plus
16. Note key skill words throughout the resumes, but also in a section at the end of your resume. A sample of a ‘Key Word’ section, skills separated by commas, from a resume is illustrated below. Use other key words such as contracts on which you’ve worked, computer software, hardware, and unique or specialized training.
17. Assume most recruiters know what they are seeking in resumes, but may not necessarily be cognizant of acronyms and industry buzz-words or their meanings. If using acronyms in a resume, spell out the words the first time it is used with acronym in parentheses after. Recruiters might query in the resume database on the full name OR the acronym – hedge your bets – use them both. Example:
18. Employers seeking applicants for Security Cleared jobs are very aware how much those clearances are worth to their companies, as well as the job seeker(s). A survey taken in 2007 showed applicants with DoD security clearances between Secret and Top Secret / SCI could earn an additional $10K - $40K annually than those without clearances (factoring in geographic locations). If you are in the military – RUN , don’t walk, to your career counselor to ask what is needed to get into a rate or billet requiring a security clearance. Once you have a clearance, take proper care of that clearance throughout your military career. Your future income depends on monitoring and upkeep of your clearance and it’s mission.
