Write a professional targeted resume pointing out your skills relevant to the job role required in the job advert bearing in mind the following...

Do not go over the top by giving wrong information that are untrue to impress the recruiter.
Highlight specific achievements.
Use positive and active language.
Fill your resume with keywords found in the job advert.
Stress your reliability, teamwork and technical skills.
Show that you have a positive attitude and able to resolve problems.

Use power words and phrases like:
Able to cope under pressure.
Results orientated.
Demonstrates problem solving abilities.
Ability to manage and supervise others.
Analyze information.

Do not use clichés
Avoid using overused phases that can become meaningless and irritating to the reader which can be a big turn off for some people.

Use professional and technical language
If you work in a specialized field then you will have to use a lot of professional/technical keywords and buzz words to spice up your CV and make it more interesting to read.
