Sometimes, when you are writing your CV, your covering letter or accomplishment statements you might find yourself having difficulty finding descriptive words to help you describe the activity appropriately.
Sure ’successfully achieved’ works pretty well but at the end of the day there are only so many times you can successfully achieve something and you want to avoid your CV from sounding to repetitive.
When detailing each of your achievements within your Resume, make sure that you prefix each achievement with a strong ‘doing word’.
You’re the person who was responsible for the achievement after all so make sure you take full credit for each of these achievements within your CV by throwing a nice descriptive verb at the beginning of each of your main achievements.
Here’s a list of descriptive action verbs for you to include within your Resume:
