CV Help - (Writing a CV) Common CV error - number twenty one. No action words
Writing a CV Common CV error - number twenty one. Use action words (verbs) in your CV to illustrate success and achievement. Think in terms of “ achieved this ” –“ completed that ” –“ improved ..etc”. Add detail : “achieved highest number of new accounts in 2009” – “completed major database project update four months ahead of forecast” – “improved customer retention rates by 37%”. This approach will move your writing away from the: “I was responsible for – I reported to – I managed a sales team of......”. No one is too interested in what you were responsible for or supposed to do : recruiters are really interested in what you achieved .
