Because of this complicated logic, and because companies and hiring managers have the ability to personalize the search criteria for each job opening, it is impossible to give you a concrete list of the thousands of possible keywords that could be used to search for any one job. For instance, in one high-tech company I interviewed, a keyword search included the following criteria from two different hiring managers for the same job title:

Financial Analyst / Senior Accountant

REQUIRED BS in finance or accounting with 4 years of experience or MBA in related field with 2 years of relevant experience certified public accountant forecasting	REQUIRED BS in finance or accounting with 4 years of experience or MBA in related field with 2 years of relevant experience accounting financial reporting financial statement Excel
DESIRED accounting financial trend analysis financial statement results analysis trends strategic planning develop trends financial modeling personal computer microcomputers DCF presentation skills team player	DESIRED ability customer new business financial analysis financial forecasting process improvement policy development business policies PowerPoint Microsoft Word analytical ability

You can see why it is so difficult to give definitive lists of keywords and concepts. However, it is possible to give you samples of actual keyword searches used by recruiters I have interviewed to give you some ideas. Let me emphasize again that you should list only experience you actually have gained. Do not include these keywords in your résumé just because they are listed here.
