When you apply for Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) job and send your resume, you must realize that hundreds, sometimes thousands of people are applying for the same job. Then think about the poor hiring manager. How is he or she supposed to find time from a busy schedule to read all those resumes? The answer is, he can’t. So he won’t.
He’ll just skim over them, to see which ones are worth reading. And he’ll choose the clear ones, the ones that very clearly tell him that this candidate is the right one for the job.
These very clear resumes will be the ones with the right keywords. The keywords that the hiring manager carefully chose to write in the advertisement, because they will make him feel that this is the candidate best suited to the job.
