摘要

Those who profess experience in key areas such as fixed-income derivatives are most likely to pass through his electronic filter. If only he had known a year ago what he knows now. "For a while I was struggling to find a job online," the Lehigh University graduate says. Not until he inserted more appropriate buzzwords into his Web-based resume- such as "communication skills" and "results-driven"-did he start getting nibbles from potential employers.
