Given the fact that you have applied a job online, how do you know that employers can find you?

Alison Doyle suggests that:

Your resume should contain:

• Keywords. If you’re not sure what to include, use a job search engine like Indeed.com to search for jobs that match your qualifications. Once you come up with some terms that fit, use them in your resume. That way, you will be found by employers seeking candidates with similar qualifications.
• Job Titles. Employers are often interested in candidates with specific experience and will search for that i.e. Online Marketing Coordinator or Telephone Sales Manager.
• Qualifications. Be specific – if you have Microsoft Certification or an MBA, say so.
• Affiliations. List the professional organizations that you have joined.

Update your resume regularly. Many resume databases have options so employers can search only the newest resumes or those posted with a certain period of time. So, you’ll need to update your resume frequently so it’s found.
