For a journalist resume
- • Skills a journalist posting often asks for: reporting, interviewing, fact checking, writing to deadline, editing.
- • Link to published work; editors want to read you, not read about you.
What happens to the rest of your resume
- • A longer skills line wraps in its own style.
- • Skills in a table or grid keep their columns.
Questions people ask
+Should I copy every keyword from the posting?
Only the ones you really have. Mirroring the posting's wording helps screening, but interviews test it.
+Can applicant tracking systems still read it?
Yes. Your edits are real text in the resume's own font, so the file stays selectable and readable, just like before.
