One way people discover blog posts through search engines, is by the tags provided by the writer. Tags make it easier for search engines and visitors to find out what the specific post is about. Since it’s fairly common knowledge that large companies have databases of resumes, which can be indexed and served via certain keywords, doesn’t it make sense to include tags on your resume? I’ve seen “Skills” on resumes, which usually include maybe 3 to 5 mostly common skills, but how about an in-depth tags at the end of your resume, like a blog post does, to facilitate indexing and serving of our resume out of potential employers databases? Do you or someone you know do this? If so, do you think it has helped or just created clutter and distracted potential employers from your real content (like relevant work experience)?
Here are the tags I have on my resume, though I’m still not sure if they’ll be included next time I send me resume out:
adobe photoshop, microsoft office suite, wordpress, html, css, php, google adwords, microsoft adcenter, yahoo search marketing, panama, search engine optimization, seo, pay per click management, ppc, link building, google analytics, facebook, myspace, twitter, digg, linkedin, stumbleupon, word of mouth marketing, blogging
