Most resume bullet points start with the same tired old words hiring managers have read over and over-to the point where they've lost a lot of their meaning. They also don't do much to show off your accomplishments, and instead tend to just communicate your job duties.

So let's get a little more creative, shall we? Next time you update your resume, switch up a few of those common words and phrases with strong, compelling action verbs that will catch hiring managers' eyes.

What are action verbs and how can you use them on your resume?

Action verbs convey doing-for example, "She walked to the door," or, "The dog chased the ball." On your resume, action verbs show readers you accomplished something at your past jobs, you weren't just "responsible for" it. Instead you "streamlined" or "coordinated" or "executed" it. You got the job done and you achieved something in the process.

But be careful: Not all action verbs are as strong as others. For example, words like "led" or "handled" may have their place on a resume (sparingly), but don't give the reader any details about how you did it. Did you lead by assigning work to a team; by creating a road map for a project; by organizing resources, people, and deadlines; or by doing some combination of the three?

No matter what duty or accomplishment you're trying to show off, we've got just the resume action verb for you. Check out the list below, and get ready to make your resume way more exciting.

Action verbs for when you led a project

Actions for when you envisioned and brought a project to life

Action verbs for when you increased efficiency, productivity, profit, sales, revenue, or customer satisfaction (or reduced costs or time spent)

Action verbs for when you changed or improved something

Action verbs for when you managed a team

While "managed" may have a place on your resume (especially if it's a keyword), phrases like "Managed a team..." or "Managed employees..." are just reciting your job duties. Instead, you can show what an inspirational leader you were with terms like:

Action verbs for when you brought in partners, funding, resources, or clients

Were you "responsible for" a great new partner, sponsor, source of funding, or client? Try:

Action verbs for when you supported customers

Because monitoring the phones, answering questions, or providing customer service really means you're advising customers and meeting their needs, use:

Action verbs for when you did research or analysis

Action verbs for when you communicated

Action verbs for when you oversaw or regulated

Action verbs for when you achieved something

Did you hit your goals? Win a coveted department award? Don't forget to include that on your resume, with words like:

Add some BAM, POW, and WHOOSH with these action words for your CV.

Back in 2015, Microsoft reported that humans now have shorter attention spans than goldfish. Whether you believe the controversial research or not, we're sure you'll agree that it can be super easy to get distracted. Especially if what you're trying to focus on doesn't grab your attention straight away.

It's the same story for recruiters and hiring managers. If they open a CV and can't immediately see why the applicant could be right for their position - well, chances are, they'll move on to the next candidate during the job search. And they typically make this choice within just six seconds of viewing a CV.

But, never fear. Our career experts are here to explain how job seekers can craft an action-packed application. The first step? Knowing what action verbs are and how you can use them to make an impact. Read on to discover the best kind of words to use in a CV.

Choose action words for CV success

Bam. Pow. Whoosh. What do words like that make you think of? Power? Success? Results? Whilst we don't suggest dotting your CV with the kind of words you'd see in comics, we do suggest turning to their action-packed counterparts: verbs.

Like they teach you in school, 'Verbs are doing words'; they come in pretty handy when you're writing your CV because you can use them to show off all the things you've done. And what is your CV if not a record of everything you've accomplished?

Think about it: Would you rather write a CV that simply explains how long you worked on certain projects for or a CV that demonstrates how you took charge, hit targets, and achieved something?

We thought so. So here's a list of popular action verbs that might come in handy next time you redo your CV:

Of course, some action verbs do better than others at communicating types of hard and soft skills to a hiring manager or employer. For instance, some helpful CV action verbs that convey analytical skills include:

Some action verbs that show off communication skills include:

Leadership skills can be conveyed with action verbs like these:

Finally, these action words are helpful for portraying creative skills:

Active verbs versus passive verbs

Now let's take it up a notch. If using verbs helps you show off what you've done, choosing active sentence structures over passive ones will help you add that additional 'wow' factor.

Both passive and active sentences use verbs, but in active sentences, the subject of the sentence is the thing that 'does' the action. In passive sentences, the subject is the thing that has the action done to them. Here are two ways of writing the same sentence:

Passive: The project was completed before the deadline and the targets were exceeded.

Active: I completed the project before the deadline and exceeded my targets.

Which one do you think makes the writer sound like a problem-solving hard worker? Let's look at another example:

Passive: The profit margins were increased by 10%.

Active: I increased the profit margins by 10%.

So, active or passive ‒ which one would you rather be? In the world of work, you can either sit passively while things happen to you, or you can be a go getter who makes the most of a situation. Take action and take charge of your career like the superhero you are. The choice is yours.

Your CV, starring you

So, what does using action words for CV writing say about you to hiring managers and employers? Well, it says a lot of things, including that:

You take ownership of your achievements

You're confident in your abilities

You're proactive (this one's particularly pertinent if you're a self starter applying for a leadership position)

It also shows how fantastic your attention to detail is. A well-written CV can speak volumes about your communication and organisational skills in general.

In short, what you say about yourself in your CV will 'tell' potential employers what you're like. But using action verbs and active sentences will help you 'show' them what kind of person you are. It's a little bit sneaky, a little bit subliminal, but it 100 percent works.

Tips and tricks

Once you've gotten to grips with using action verbs and active sentences, there are a few more steps you can take to make sure your CV or cover letter makes an impact.

For instance, you could try browsing relevant job adverts to see what kind of keywords are being used. Chances are, if industry recruiters spot the same kind of terms and phrases in your CV, they'll think you're a better applicant for the job because you fit the field. That's why it's essential to know how to customise your CV for each listing you submit for. If you see that employers in your field are looking for aa strategic thinker, you can be sure to include an example of how your strategic thinking has led to positive results. Or if you need to be detailed oriented, show that by submitting a CV that is error-free. This strategy can also ensure that you make it past the applicant tracking system, a kind of recruiting software that scans CVs for specific terms that denote qualification for a job and eliminates candidates who aren't up to par.

You should also try to stay away from the obvious, boring clichés. So what if you are a 'team player' or always 'complete your work on time'? Everybody does that - or they should, at least.

Finally, check your whole CV for repetition. Those action verbs might start to lose their meaning if you use them again and again. Use the verb list we included above, or simply Google 'action words for CV [enter career field here]'.

So, now that you've learnt all about the power of verbs and active phrases, it's time for those CV writing muscles to be flexed.

Only joking.

It's time to flex those CV writing muscles.
We know what power words and specific skills will make the strongest impact on HR managers. Submit your CV for a free, objective critique and we'll tell you where you stand.
