When I was eight, I used to accompany my friend’s cousin to the nearby pond to catch fish!! He did is everyday and someday I used to accompany him. Along with the fishing rod, he used earthworms to catch his fishes. He never used choclate or rice which was his staple diet.
Likewise, with your resume when you go out fishing for job, you need your fish food to attract the right interview call. The fish food here is the keywords you use in your resume.
Examples. Instead of design and analysis of gas turbine, say aerodynamic/
