If your resume doesn't contain the right keywords, you're out of the running. Once you've passed the ATS, those same keywords are just as important to demonstrate that you speak the language of employers and have the skills and qualifications they seek. The specific words you use in your resumes, letters, and job interviews can make the critical difference between being hired or rejected for the job.
