Apply to companies that match your values, for jobs that match your skills and interests. Peruse the job description and highlight words that match your skills, qualifications, and traits. These are your keywords. Update your resume to appropriately include the keywords. Note duties you performed in previous roles and edit your resume to incorporate some of the job posting language.

Compatibility is key to landing a fulfilling job. Start by clarifying your desired career path, work-life balance, and important values. Create a list of 10-20 companies in your target industry and view their websites, including their careers and mission pages, to check for alignment. Look for keywords and themes on their job postings to integrate into your resume.
