Resume Words
Resume words need to be chosen carefully because if you believe there are a few words that will pump you up, then you’re going to be disappointed with your results. The results we’re talking about is that you will be disappointed with the number of interviews you get, and quite possibly you’ll be disappointed in the quality or types of interview calls you receive.
What resume words are the most important? They are the words you choose to tell your own unique career story. You see, there is not a list of words to choose from to make you unique in the eyes of employers. Do you think you can choose from a list of words that everyone else is using? How does that make you different from others and make you stand out?
What makes you stand out is your unique career history and how well you tell your own story in your resume (and interviews). You MUST use creative writing that will powerfully present YOUR career story to others. Period. This means painting a vivid picture for readers about what you have to offer with the resume words you use. We’re talking about really showing readers what you’ve done in the past which is the best indicator of what you can do in the future.
Position your resume words so that your skills and past accomplishments are painted in the right light, giving employers a real taste of who you are. Don’t think you can slide a few words into your resume and that will put you over the top. What will bring you success is knowing how to form and phrase your words so that they influence and persuade employers your direction.
