<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Everyone looking for a job needs to use specific words in their resume that will get the hiring manager&#8217;s attention. You can find these words to use in your CV all over the internet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m talking about action words here. <a href="https://www.kickresume.com/en/">Kickresume.com</a> says that you need to use 10-20 action-oriented words or phrases. They believe that using action words will get your resume read by the hiring manager.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Words to use in your resume &; words to avoid</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Filler words are those words that do not describe exactly what you&#8217;ve done in your previous job. These words make the hiring manager confused and frustrated. Example of filler words: &#8216;actively&#8217;, &#8216;persuasively&#8217;, &#8216;frequently&#8217;. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thus, make sure that you drop adverbs from your resume because they don&#8217;t paint a picture of your skills and/or previous work experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, &#8216;listened actively to manager&#8217;s instructions&#8217; is better worded this way: &#8216;listened to the manager&#8217;s instructions&#8217;. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other filler words to avoid are pronouns: &#8216;I&#8217;, &#8216;my&#8217;, &#8216;mine&#8217;, &#8216;their&#8217;. It is wise to ditch these words if you rely heavily on them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Flowery language is also detrimental to your resume&#8217;s health. Don&#8217;t create long paragraphs where you describe what you&#8217;ve done. Get to the point immediately by being clear and concise about your previous work duties.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the best words you can use in your resume are <strong>verbs</strong>. These action-focused verbs describe what you&#8217;ve done in the past. This way, the employer can paint a clear picture in their mind of what you can do for them. If you&#8217;ll be a valuable addition to the team or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A great word to use in your resume is &#8216;collaborated&#8217; and/or &#8216;connected&#8217;. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Employers want to see that you&#8217;ve collaborated at work to deliver solutions to the company&#8217;s problems. Every business out there encounters problems. Hiring managers want to seek out people who are solution-oriented and who not only want to find a job to pay the bills.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Describe the solution you found at your previous job. How did this solution help the company grow? Did it grow because of your collaborative efforts?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The words to use in your resume that attract the attention of an employer paint a nice picture of how the company will grow if they decide to hire you.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Words to use in your resume that signify company growth</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Growth-related words help position yourself as a go-getter. You need to convince the employer that you are the solution to their company&#8217;s problems and they should hire you based on this picture you&#8217;ve painted for them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Verbs to use that signify growth: built, conceived, developed, initiated, directed, developed, led, publicized, advanced. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want to position yourself as a person with collaborative skills, use the following words: inspired, collaborated, interviewed, interacted, delegated, launched, proposed, connected, hired.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, you need to provide a context for these action-filled verbs. For example, if you use &#8216;expanded&#8217; as a word in your resume, express how you have expanded the company&#8217;s vision. A good phrase would be: &#8216;Expanded the company&#8217;s vision by implementing a marketing strategy&#8217;.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Numbers and time frame</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Apart from using action words in your resume, you also need to use numbers and a time frame for every accomplishment. For example, you can say &#8216;Delivered a marketing strategy in 6 months that attracted 50 new leads to the business.&#8217;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Using numbers in your resume is going to position you as a success-driven person who loves getting results. Thus, make sure you don&#8217;t skip this tip.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following these tips to write your resume is easy. You need to be clear about what you&#8217;ve accomplished in the past by using action verbs and dropping flowery language out of your text.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You also need to remember to provide a time frame for your success and use numbers to quantify the results you had.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Job hunting is a daunting process. However, if you create a strong resume filled with action words that show off your skills and abilities, you&#8217;re on your way to landing that dream job.</p>
