Keywords from job descriptions
Can you show an example of pulling keywords from a job posting?
Yes. Here is a short walkthrough using a fictional posting for an Accounts Payable Officer.
Posting extract: "Process supplier invoices in SAP, perform three-way matching, reconcile vendor statements, support month-end close, VAT knowledge required, ACCA part-qualified preferred."
Keywords pulled out:
- Tools: SAP
- Tasks: supplier invoices, three-way matching, vendor statement reconciliation, month-end close
- Knowledge: VAT
- Qualification: ACCA (preferred)
Honest check against the candidate's experience: SAP yes, invoices yes, three-way matching yes, reconciliation yes, month-end yes, VAT yes, ACCA partly (4 papers passed).
Resulting bullet: "Processed around 600 supplier invoices a month in SAP, using three-way matching against POs and goods receipts."
Resulting skills line: "SAP FI, three-way matching, vendor reconciliation, VAT, month-end close"
Resulting certification line: "ACCA, 4 of 13 papers passed (in progress)"
Nothing invented, nothing hidden: each term is used once or twice where it is true.
