Learn the lingo.

To make your resume stand out and illustrate why you’re a perfect fit for the job, use industry buzzwords to describe your previous experiences – even if they aren’t perfectly aligned with the field. Find someone with your dream job on LinkedIn and look at their list of job responsibilities. Learn the words and phrases that are industry-specific and pepper your resume with them where appropriate. This could help you appear to be a better fit and land you an in-person interview.
