When you see a job for which you are well qualified, follow these steps:

  1. Fill in your Key Word/Key Phrase inventory sheet based on your reading of the online job description.
  2. Incorporate those words and phrases in your Professional Summary and your scope of responsibility and accomplishment descriptions for employer experience 
  3. Check off the keywords and phrases on the inventory sheet each time you use a keyword or phrase.

If you are not at 80 percent or higher, start over.
