Like I mentioned above, going through some people’s work will give you an idea but you have to keep it individual to your qualification. Once you have an idea how it should look, just write all possible keywords you can think of that fits to your skills and personalities. Next thing to do is to stretch you keywords and polish it. You have to make sure that there are no grammar errors and keep it relevant to the qualification of your employer.
