Do Not Ignore “Key Words”!
I received yet another email today from someone who was asking me why his resume had not been viewed by any HR people. So I took a look. When he signed up with Hire Canadian Military he ignored one very important item. He left the "Key Words" portion of the registration empty. Despite the notice beside this section that stated “Very Important”.
If you want your resume to be noticed you need to know what happens to that resume while it is in an electronic format and what happens when a recruiter visits the site. The recruiter does not cruise the individual resumes. Their time is too valuable to waste on fishing expeditions. They simply enter the key words for the specific position they wish to fill and hit the “Search” button. Only those resumes matching the “Key Word” search will come up. It is those resumes that will be looked at.
So, ignore key words at your own peril. They are a vital link towards getting your resume noticed.

We willingly partner with agencies we believe will assist the Canadian military veteran in making his/her transition from military to civilian life as smooth as possible. We know and understand how rough that road can be at times. This independence allows us unique opportunities to partner with agencies and to provide support to our Canadian military veterans.
