Specific words and phrases integrated into a curriculum vitae to highlight skills, experience, and qualifications relevant to software engineering roles. For instance, a candidate might include terms like “Java,” “Agile methodologies,” or “cloud computing” to showcase proficiency in these areas.
Strategic inclusion of these terms is crucial for applicant tracking systems (ATS) to parse and rank resumes effectively. These systems often filter applications based on the presence of specific qualifications. Historically, the manual review of each application made relevance less critical, but the growth of online applications necessitates careful selection to avoid being overlooked by automated processes. The presence of these relevant skills increases the likelihood of selection for further evaluation.
