How to use this list
Use the list to check your resume, not to fill it. A term that is true of your experience and missing from your resume is worth adding where you actually used it: in the bullet for the job where you did the work, and in your skills section. A term that isn't true of you stays out; an interviewer will ask about it.
The shares tell you how common a requirement is across the market, not what any single employer wants. Before you apply, compare your resume with the posting itself; the free ATS checker does that in your browser and lists exactly which of the posting's terms you cover.
Check your resume against a real account executive posting.
