Do you ever feel your resume is bland? You’ve done so much in your previous or current job, but you don’t know how to explain it.
Digital Career Opportunities Worldwide’s LLC has helped hundreds of people land jobs through creating great resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn Profiles for people.
One of the areas job seekers tend to miss are power verbs. Resume action words are the powerful action verbs that propel sentences forward by clearly communicating your skills and experience. They enhance the readability of your resume and spice up the language so recruiters and hiring managers stay locked in beyond the 6-7 seconds they typically spend skimming, according to jobscan.com.
