How to use these keywords on your partnerships resume

Start with the posting, not this list. These are averages across 642 jobs; the one you're applying for has its own priorities. Use this page to spot common gaps, then match the specific posting.
Name skills the way employers do. If you use “partnerships”, “sales” and “marketing”, write those exact words. Applicant tracking systems and recruiters search for them, and a close synonym can be missed.
Put each skill in a bullet that shows a result. Naming go-to-market inside a bullet about what you achieved with it, with a number where you can, is stronger than listing it alone in a skills section.
Add only what's true. If you've worked with “go-to-market”, “business development” and “negotiation” but your resume doesn't say so, add it. If you haven't, leave it out: interviews expose padded resumes quickly.
