Words in the job description
When it comes to that optimization, emphasize “words that show up in the job description, on the website of your potential employer and that are used in the field,” says Ng.

If these are relevant to your work experience, make sure to include them in the bullets of your job descriptions. Your potential employer is letting you know specifically what kind of industry experience they’re looking for. If you have that experience, it’s critical to highlight it in their language so they know you’re the right candidate for the role.
