Applicant tracking systems, often called ATS software, help employers organize applications and may screen for relevant experience and qualifications. There's no magic keyword list that guarantees an interview, but matching your real experience to the language in the job description can help.
Here are some of the most relevant keywords for this position:
Comic book editing
Graphic novel editing
Editorial development
Creative development
Manuscript editing
Script development
Storytelling and visual storytelling
Project management
Editorial production
Talent relations
Contract negotiation
Production schedules
Deadline management
Proofreading and quality control
Cross-functional collaboration
Sales and marketing collaboration
Market research and trend analysis
Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook
Adobe Creative Suite
Use only the keywords that accurately reflect your experience. For example, if you have managed a graphic novel from concept to publication, explain that process rather than simply listing the words "editorial development."
And don't forget the importance of measurable results.
Instead of writing, "Managed editorial projects," you could write something like:
"Managed multiple graphic novel projects from initial development through final production, coordinating writers, artists, design teams, and publication deadlines."
Keep your resume formatting simple, use standard headings, and make sure the most relevant experience is easy to find.
