There is a new crop of power verbs for your resume...


If you’ve got bullet points on your resume – you’ll need to make them count. 

The first word in each one should be a power verb to grab the reader’s attention. While you may have handled, managed or led some impressive stuff, those verbs are run-of-the-mill and a bit tired. Consider these actions instead:

• Chaired
• Controlled
• Executed

To really take ownership of something you created; launched, pioneered and spearheaded are good choices. If you just helped, consider the verbs influenced, overhauled and integrated. Using your thesaurus can AID you in DEFINING your EXPERTISE to CAPITALIZE your ASSETS and POSITION your resume on the PINNACLE of the pile.
