Put keywords in bullets, not just in a skills list.

/ Use them honestly
Keywords get you found. Proof gets you hired.
Mirror the job post's wording for skills you really have. If a marketing coordinator post asks for Marketing campaigns and you've used it, say Marketing campaigns, in the post's spelling, and show where.
Mirror the job post's wording
If a marketing coordinator post says "Social media marketing", write "Social media marketing", not a near-synonym — as long as it's accurate. Recruiters search for the post's exact term.
Only claim what you can back up
Expect to be asked about every term you list. If you couldn't spend two minutes on Marketing campaigns — what you did and what changed — leave it out.
Show it in a bullet
A skills list says you know Hootsuite. A bullet like the one under Marketing Coordinator in the example above shows what you did with it.
No stuffing, no hidden text
Repeating a word or hiding keywords in white text doesn't make you a better match. A person reads the resume in the end.

How many keywords should a marketing coordinator resume have?
There's no magic number. Kayla's sample resume uses all 16 terms on this page, because each one fit that job. Cover what your post asks for that you can back up, each where it fits; repeating a keyword doesn't help.
Should I copy keywords exactly from the job post?
Use the post's wording for skills you really have. If a marketing coordinator post says "Marketing campaigns", write "Marketing campaigns" rather than a synonym, so a recruiter searching for that term finds you. Don't add skills you don't have just because the post lists them.
Where should keywords go on my resume?
In your summary, a short skills section and, above all, the bullets under each job, where you show what you did with the skill. In Kayla's sample, Marketing campaigns, Social media marketing and Email marketing are in the summary and Hootsuite shows up in a bullet under Marketing Coordinator. Plain text in the body of the page is easiest for applicant tracking systems to read.
Which tools should I list on a marketing coordinator resume?
The ones you've used and the post mentions. Common ones in marketing coordinator posts include Hootsuite, Mailchimp, Canva, WordPress and Google Analytics 4. Name the tool in the bullet where you used it, not only in the skills list.
