Twenty-Five "RESUME WORDS" that will land you the job...
I'm providing you a list of 25 success verbs you can use for the 25 bullets on your resume. Limiting your choices ensures a quality resume.
This might seem boring, but unless you are applying to be a thesaurus writer, no one looking at your resume will care how clever your success verbs are. The millions of hours lost each year to professionals like you looking up synonyms for “improved” is a complete waste of time.
Here, then, are all the success verb you should ever need:
- Accelerated
- Achieved
- Added
- Awarded
- Changed
- Contributed
- Decreased
- Delivered
- Eliminated
- Exceeded
- Expanded
- Gained
- Generated
- Grew
- Improved
- Increased
- Introduced
- Maximized
- Minimized
- Optimized
- Produced
- Reduced
- Saved
- Sold
- Streamlined
Of course, it’s not enough to just have the verb. You need a specific numerical accomplishment, too…
