Key Words - Your Ticket to Your Next Interview
What is so important about the words you use in a resume or cover letter? They are your ticket in the door to obtain an interview. I suggest that you use powerful action words to describe how you successfully met a need of the organization resulting in positive measurable results that improved the outcome of the organization.
You want to make yourself stand out of the crowd, not blend in. The employer that you would like to interview with is looking for someone who took action in the past and can demonstrate how they can take action again in the future that will be a benefit to them. After all why should they consider hiring you? You have to demonstrate the answer to this question on paper. If you are not successful you will not get the interview and stand no chance in getting a job offer.
We can no longer have a resume that is a listing of job duties and tasks, but we need to show that we were instrumental in resolving problems or bringing solutions to the table. This is the reason a future employer would be interested in interviewing you. Words like implemented, developed, motivated and inspired are just a sample of powerful key words that you should be placing in your resume and cover letters.
If you are interested in expiditing your path to an interview and your next job, remember to focus on the use of key words in your next resume and cover letter
