Positive Action Words

It's important  to include positive verbs and adjectives when writing your CV, eg, created, analysed, initiated, engineered.  This makes your CV dynamic.

Don't go overboard - only use the words that genuinely fit your skills and experience.  And don't use too many - that would just make your CV look "engineered".  Your CV needs to sell you but it also needs to be genuine.  The following list is a brief sample of the types of words we incorporate.
