One effective tip for all you resume writers out there is to use action words, but not just any action words—those that increase your hire chance of getting that dream job!
Use action words like prepared, managed, developed, championed, monitored, and presented will cause your resume to stand out. Using these words will attract the eyes of your potential employer, and entice to read your resume in further detail. On the other hand, if your resume is scanned using a machine, the computer will pick up on those keywords. Some companies now use scanners to identify resumes that meet a certain criteria. These computers are looking for one thing--the keywords that have been picked by the hiring manager.
