One of the important rules is to use action words. Action words empower your resume by increasing your creditability. When you describe your skills and experience as a past action, it sounds more like a true story, — something really happened, thus your self-claimed experience gets transformed into proven experience, that makes your qualification more creditable and trustable.  Resumes packed with tons of actions words always deliver high persuading power.

To make your IT resume action-oriented, write to describe your knowledge, skills, and experience by starting with a strong action word. Especially when explaining your previous works and experience, you should make everything you did a past action, which tells everyone, you did it. For instance, instead of saying “my responsibilities include database design and application development”, present it as:

• Designed logical and physical database on IBM DB2 Universal Database Server for enterprise-wide data management.

• Developed a web-based application for over 1000 users to report contract funding status in 10 western states.

Here you can see, the key to make your statement a high impact is to:

1. Use strong action words — designed, developed.
2. Make it specific — logical/physical, IBM DB2, web-based, contract funding status, etc.
3. Empathize scope, make it sound like an important task — enterprise-wide, over 1000 users, 10 states.

Also, always use a bullet for one sentence. The sentence should be as short as possible and packed with all important information specific to the action. That gives you best chance to draw recruiters’ attention.

In this ebook, over 100 action verbs are specifically selected for empowering IT resumes.  Each word comes with an example sentence to describe an IT related activity. Study these verbs carefully and pick up the best for your resume.
