Top 3 Words to Add/Delete from Your Resume, follow us at http://resume.ae


Imagine this – there is a black-tie event where all the attendees have decided to dress in black. Boring, right? And just a moment later, a woman in a blood-red dress walks in like a breath of fresh air.


While this may sound like a cliché movie scene, it’s definitely going to be relatable once you decide to sit down and write your resume. You’ve sat down to prepare your resume and are working to enhance it with fancy words. You check a couple of resume samples and decide to include words like “led”, “responsible for” amongst many other commonly used words and feel confident about that new job you’re going to bag. But to any employer, it’s going to be akin to looking at another person in another black suit.

Here are a few tips to on what to add and delete from your resume:

What to delete:
1. Led – To be a team leader is of course a feather in your cap. Employers are also appreciative about it, so long as you don’t mention the word that everyone uses. Try using alternatives like “Coordinate”, “Supervise”, and “Administer” to add extra brownie points to your quota.

2. “Responsible for” – Whether you’re “responsible for drafting emails” or “responsible for generating profits”, the phrase is not impactful on potential employers anymore. Words like “Identified,” “Evaluated,” and “Assessed” have more potential to appease employers.

3. Achieved – We’re glad you’ve achieved whatever you did and so are the employers. We also understand you’d love to boast about it too because it’s worth it. But try to jazz things up a bit by using unconventional terms like “attained,” “gained,” and “accomplished.”

What to add:

1. Spearhead – Words like spearhead is a good functional verb to add if you are looking to revamp your resume.

2. Integrate – What sounds better than using the term “Integrate”? Integrate is a great verb to include in your resume because through this single term, you can showcase your ability to combine two or more responsibilities to promote operational effectiveness. Another word to use would definitely be “Implement” since it shows the ability to incorporate changes into systems.

3. Augment – So, we’ve heard words like “improve” or “enhance” being used repeatedly in thousands of CVs. Augment is a good substitute because it highlights the actual growth in processes.
