Rev Up Your Resume, But Please Don't Take This Totally Seriously
We all know the wisdom of putting “action verbs” in your resume, right? How you should say “Achieved so and so” instead of “Was responsible for” since the former sounds so much more interesting.
JIST Publishing, which publishes career-related books, blogged about more words to use. They recommend:
- Achieved
- Analyzed
- Built
- Compiled
- Contributed
- Controlled
And so on and so forth. So far, so good (though “contributed” doesn’t strike us as that great). However, now we come to a problem.
