IT Support Specialist resume keywords

Identity, device and ticketing platforms, plus a CompTIA or vendor certification. These are the terms recruiters search the ATS for, written the way postings write them.

Licenses and certifications

  • CompTIA A+

Tools, systems and languages

  • Active Directory
  • Microsoft 365
  • Microsoft Intune
  • Jamf Pro
  • ServiceNow
  • Microsoft Windows
  • macOS

How to use them

  • Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
  • Give the platform and the scale: "managed Intune for 1,200 devices"
  • Name networking fundamentals you used: DNS, DHCP, VPN, VLANs
  • List certifications with their full names
  • Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
