  • Drove $720K in expansion revenue through upsells and cross-sells
  • Ran quarterly business reviews that raised NPS from 32 to 51

Where to put keywords

  • Summary: your job title in the posting's words plus your two strongest matching skills.
  • Skills section: tools and hard skills, spelled the way the posting spells them.
  • Experience bullets: each important skill used in a sentence with a result. A skill that appears only in a list is weak evidence.
