Using action verbs is key to making your resume stand out among the others in the pile.
Be descriptive when writing about the responsibilities you have, or had, with each position. Action verbs give the employer a better sense of not only the skills you have but also how you utilized them in past positions and how you will use these skills as THEIR employee.
Rather than starting every line with “Responsible for…” or “Worked on…” use stronger verbs.
Examples:
Administer. Calculate. Analyze. Assess. Budget. Compile. Consolidate. Coordinate. Devise. Estimate. Evaluate. Identify. Maintain. Manipulate. Model. Predict. Summarize. Troubleshoot.
More importantly: Action verbs + quantitative information + results = success.
Even more action verbs can be found on the Letters & Sciences Career Services site and the Business Career Center site.
