Your assignment:

*Either use a certain color to represent a certain skill (e.g. analytical skill yellow; communication green, etc..) and highlight all relevant parts in the ad with that color and then highlight relevant parts in your criteria and CV and cover letter with the same colorFor Personality and Company Keywords you can select one color to represent the whole category, but for Skills use different colors for different skills categories.

OR use a code with abbreviations e.g (A) for analytical, (IP) for interpersonal, etc and insert those codes both into the ad and all other documents. Add a list of what your abbreviations stand for.
