Power words to perfect your resume
Power words are verbs that can strengthen resumes by constructing active descriptions of duties and accomplishments. Each statement should begin with a power word, not "I", providing absolute clarity about one's career direction. Recent graduates should highlight related experiences like internships, projects, activities, and skills to compensate for little work experience. Employers look for success stories, so brainstorm accomplishments one may have forgotten and use power phrases to vividly highlight qualifications when describing experience. A strategic resume presents work history through accomplishments and aptitudes to clearly convey one's skills, training, positive qualities, and value to an employer.
