TheLadders.com is a very popular and different job site as in it gets only the best jobs that are over USD 100k and they get the candidates to pay instead of the employers! So its different in that sense. They did a little digging in their databases to find which words in the resumes of the candidates attracted the most attention. Here are the top hundred words!
In this day and age of online resume mailing and submissions – online filters are used extensively.. so it makes sense to use the right buzzwords and in my view a good resume does 80% of the work and if you can handle the interview well then the chances of getting the job are VERY HIGH!! So go ahead and use this to your advantage. Link for the list
