I can’t emphasize enough how important the Key Skills section in your Naukri profile is!
To get interview calls to positions whose nature of work differs from that of your current profession or field of work, simply mention the keywords related to the job you aspire for.
For example, if an IT engineer wishes to apply for finance related jobs in addition to IT jobs, he would mention the following in his Key Skills.
Key Skills:
Java,C,finance,accounts,financial analyst,financial manager
Let us say an Embedded System Engineer is looking for IT jobs. His Key Skills should be something like this.
Key Skills:
Embedded systems,microcontroller,java,C,SQL
Say a developer wishes to switch role to a tester. Here is an imagination of which Key Skills that person should write.
Key Skills:
SQL,UNIX,testing,manual,automated,QTP,regression,
In a lighter note, if Sachin Tendulkar secretly wanted to become a Singer like Lata Mangeshkar, he would mention his key skills as following.
Key Skills:
Cricket,one day,test,20 20,singer,playback,artist,bollywood.
The reason why he mentioned cricket skills first is that he doesn’t want to drastically make a career shift to the line of Singing. This suggests Naukri search that Sachin is still open for opportunities in cricket along with playback singing. Sachin wants to play safe, like he does in ground.
