What is this about keywords and getting a job? I have been able to find out that there IS a list of keywords, and if your resume has them, then it goes to a human. If not, the computer kicks it back. Can you help me with this?
Keywords and resumes, both off and online, go hand in hand. Keywords are words or phrases people search databases with to find the information they want.
Yahoo, Google and the other search engines don't really go out looking for your phrase on the multitude of sites on the Web. What they do is look in their databases where their spiders have stored the information they've collected. When you type in the keywords to search on, they compare it to their databases and send the best matches back to you.
Other information is stored in databases. If you have an address book on your computer, it is likely to be a database file. Financial programs like Quicken also use databases. If you've ever used Excel to create a spreadsheet to organize information, you've created a simple (or even, complex) database.
Companies and job placement services also have their own databases.
