Power words, or action verbs, are words used to help make a statement stronger. By using action verbs, you can assume an "active voice" instead of a "passive voice" on your resume.
<snips a bunch of Power Words>
On a related tangent, here are Power Words to AVOID on your resume:
Blind, Kill and Stun.
Power words, or action verbs, are words used to help make
a statement stronger. By using action verbs, you can assume
an "active voice" instead of a "passive voice".
Properly incorporating power words into your life, letters
and other correspondence can help convey strong writing skills
and increase the strength of your communication.
These words can offer a significant, if not necessary, resume improvement.
Be careful not to overuse them by monitoring your Emurse cloud view.
Too much fluff and not enough skills, and you could come across
as fake.
