Hello again, job seekers! Glad to have you back this month for our February resume tip...
Tip #16 - Power Verbs
Sometimes it's not just what you say, but how you say it. And that is especially true with your one-page resuming. You are striving to really paint a quick but vivid picture of your previous jobs and talents. You want your next manager or supervisor to be able SEE you doing all that hard work you've put in time and time again!
Here are some great snippets that are easy to work into your job descriptions and/or skills.
Greeting
Designating
Reviewing
Prioritzing
Researching
Verifying
Evaluating
Completing
Analyzing
Organizing
Assisting
Educating
Inquiring
You would be surprised how many of these word you can work into your resume! Also, they might even give you some ideas if you are struggling describe or illustrate just what you did at that job ten years ago all day.
Also. Try to avoiding repeating the same words over and over on your resume. That shows a lack of creativity and inspiration. A few repeats are okay but try to make each job position or task stand out!
Until next month, folks! Remember, your local library is always ready and willing to help with job searches or even just updating your personal files and portfolios.
