Hello

I did SAS course consisting of BASE , Advance SAS and SAS analytics, I also cleared my Base SAS certification. Now I am making my resume but I am not sure what kind of keywords should I use in it so that my resume get much more views by recruiters, as we all know keywords plays an important part in resume screening.

My course content was Base SAS, advance SAS with Macros, Proc SQL . Anova , T test , LogicalRegression etc .

Please help me out in this case.

Thank you.

"Certified SAS Programmer" should be a good start.

Unfortunately there is no one single answer to this question. If I see a CV where someone lists out procedures that they have used in SAS then I would bin the CV straight away. To me it doesn't show anything other than someone who can list of the contents of the manual. I like @Kurt_Bremser suggestion to wrap it up in Certified Programmer, and list the various certifications in an education section. For the CV I would focus more on what topics you use SAS for, what your focus and interests are, goals and achievements. But that is just me and I have seen people (particularly recruitment agents) who just scan CV's for keywords.

Also, avoid spelling mistakes in your resume, especially in important keywords such as "logistic regression" etc.
