Dreamfedjob - Turning unemployed into employed.
Incorporating verbiage in your resume that fully and accurately describes your accomplishments is important in order to make your resume rise to the top. You want to make sure the employer understands your contributions to your past and present employers over the period covered in your employment history. Let your resume set the stage for a discussion about what you achieved and how you achieved it. Using action verbs can make it easier for you to address each of your job experiences and elements and make the information clearer and more concise for your future employer. Below are tips and examples of action verbs you might use for capturing accomplishments associated with your past work experience.Tips for Federal Resumes
- Use clear, concise statements written in the first person, active voice. Put the "action" verb and the "doer" of the action at the beginning of the sentence.
- Avoid using passive verb forms often found at the end of long sentences.
- Avoid using - they - them - plan - agencies - organizations - or other such "generic words" without first specifying who or what you are writing about.
- Avoid bureaucratic buzzwords.
- Spell out acronyms the first time they are used on a page, but avoid using them excessively.
- Use words that highlight how you accomplished your job and how you contributed to the team/organizational effort.
- Avoid statements that describe your personal beliefs or philosophies; focus on specific challenges and results achieved through your actions and/or leadership.
- Quantify and provide examples as evidence of your accomplishments.
- Avoid repeated use of the same example.
- Include recent education and training that enhanced your skills.
- Include special assignments (e.g., details, task forces, committees).
