Create a Word Cloud of Your Resume

Do you want to see the cornerstone words your resume is built on? Have you taken a moment to see the word cloud of your professional expertise?

Wordle is an effective and fun career tool to discover the patterns of your experience using the text of your resume as the generator for creating a word cloud of your skills.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to wordle.net
  2. Click on the link “Create your own.”
  3. Copy and paste your resume text into the box.
  4. The word cloud is automatically generated. You can change the colors, font or scheme of your resume word cloud.

It is a great exercise to determine patterns of the words used in your resume and skills you are building in a consistent progression.
