What are your thoughts on bolding certain keywords or skills on resumes? I personally really like the bolding, but I’m seeing mixed reception online. I’m helping former coworkers with their resumes and trying to figure out how to best advise them on that aspect.

I think the toughest part of the interview process is getting that first call. We should do whatever it takes to make it happen :)

Bold words are often the first to catch attention of the recruiters. So if you think it is worth their glance, go for it.

Bolding keywords can help recruiters quickly spot relevant skills, especially in a quick resume scan. The key is to use it sparingly, as too much can be distracting. Highlight the most critical skills or achievements that match the role.

B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
