The videos are to be used recurrently on various social media channels for personal branding and building online visibility.
The entire Resume Keywords product contains 70,000+ keywords and covers about 15,000 positions to ensure all critical keywords are included so careerists’ resumes are screened in—not out.

Each profession-specific document allows users to check off all relative keywords to include in their resume.

Method, which helps job candidates to interview better when answering behavioral or competency-based questions. It’s a better way to utilize the S.T.A.R. method successfully.
