Here’s What Employers Are Searching for  In the Resumes They Review

Employers are in desperate need of talent. And with millions of job openings out there, you’d think they wouldn’t be overly picky about who they interview. They need to fill positions badly, after all.

In fact, a recent survey showed that 70% of employers are willing to hire and train almost anyone who has a good number of transferrable, or soft skills.[1]

But, in some cases, employers have to be very picky about candidates. Incredibly picky, actually. And sometimes, having a lot of soft, transferrable skills just won’t cut it, even if you’re easily trainable.

Why? Because some of the jobs we’re about to show you are not only in high demand, but in many cases, you’ll need some very particular skillsets (and perhaps some education) listed on your resume to land one.

But if you have these skills and/or the associated education, you could be in luck… because employers could be searching for you!

Today, FindYourJobNow.com will show you what employers are looking for on resumes, and how you can find a job in one of these in-demand fields.

You see, as one of America’s easiest to use job search and career tip websites, FindYourJobNow.com has the inside scoop. And we have connections to employers in these high-demand fields…

And yes, they’re looking for candidates, right now!

Once we show you what “key words” and skills employers are searching for on resumes, we’re going to show you how to apply for one of these jobs…

If you are qualified, that is.

But if you’re not qualified yet?

Well, don’t worry. We have a solution for that too!

See, we’ve partnered with School Match Pro. SchoolMatchPro.com is a national leader in helping people like you find an online college, trade school, vocational school or licensing program that can help you get certified for in demand jobs…

Jobs like the top 10 most searched for, by employers!

So, let’s get to them.

The 10 most searched for “skills”, “jobs” or “key words” that employers are combing over resumes looking for are:[2]

  • Registered nurse
  • Sales
  • Nurses (in general)
  • Mechanic
  • Accountant
  • Electrician
  • Customer service
  • Chef or cook
  • Physical therapist
  • Retail

As you can see, some of the jobs that employers are looking for do require education. Like healthcare, accounting, and the trades.

But others, like retail, customer service and sales, may not require much education at all, if any!

This means that if you have skills in sales, retail or customer service, you should list them at the top of your resume. Right there in the overview/summary of qualifications section.

If you do that, those skills will get noticed by hiring managers rather quickly.

Now, if you are looking for a job that employers are hiring for, but don’t have the skills or education, School Match Pro can help.

Simply visit their website at SchoolMatchPro.com and they’ll show you how they can assist you.
