How to Write a Powerful Resume
Take time when working on your resume. It is the first importantstep to landing that coveted job. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO advises, “With recruitment carried out online as well, make sure that your resume is searchable with key words and phrases that will grab attention.”
One can refer to jobsites or print ads that advertise the qualifications sought. The key is to use verbs and phrases that describe one’sexperience that suit the target position. Viesca shares some examples:
For Marketing and Communication jobs
Use “ conceptualized,” “implemented,” “planned,” “ wrote,” “composed,” “launched.”
For Management jobs
Try “led,” directed,” “guided,” “spearheaded,” “performed,” “initiated,” “planned.”
For creative jobs
Use “designed,” “conceptualized,” “created,” “wrote,” “performed.”
For Teaching jobs
Use “trained,” “instructed,” “guided,” “wrote,” “planned.”
The right words will track your resume at the search process,when and where it counts.
