Words are important. When reviewing a résumé, you can tell a lot about the places a person has worked by their choice of words. The best résumés feature a lexicon linked tightly to the culture of the workplace. You can scan the paragraphs, picking out key words that slide into the organization’s schema like puzzle pieces. Do you ever wonder what words stand out in your résumé? Do your words match the values and principles of your organization? With that very question in mind, I headed over to wordle.net to see how my résumé faired. Check out this cool site to create graphically-weighted representations of any text. The larger the font-size, the more prominent that word is throughout the text.
