CV Action Words Add Power & Interest To Your CV

These CV Action Words are CV power words that put that special extra into your CV Writing. When you create your CV or resume, or when you prepare cover letters these are the words that you should be sure you use.

These specific action words are what create REAL IMPACT; try to use theses same words when you talk about yourself in an interview. Rather than the same boring stuff, your self describing statements will sound dramatic and interesting; add some also to your CV personal profiles for an even more powerful CV.

Look at the list below and see where you can use them. They work well at the beginning of a bullet point in your section of achievements or using them in your Key Strengths Examples.

Please take a moment to look at this Graduate CV Sample then continue to the next page to read another Graduate CV Example. Click here to view an example of a Graduate Cover Letter that you may need.

Note that the words are all written as being in the past tense - this gives a sense of something having been done or completed. In other words it sounds more like you have "achieved" something. If you use the present e.g. "designing" it doesn't sound as complete as "designed" and isn't therefore as powerful.

These are not just CV action words, they also make your Performance Appraisal discussions sound so much better too!

So try to make good use of some of these Words for your CV or Resume or in other statements about you and what you have done. If you need some expert help with preparing an effective CV or Resume go here.
