Using Effective Words
by Professional Resume Writing Services
When you sit down to create your resume one of the first feelings that hits you is that you cannot complete the sentences without using the same words over and over again.
Don't panic, the English language is rich with words that say the same thing in an alternative way.
Take the time to review this list and locate words that suggest your attitude towards your role. Avoid using the same words as everyone else and particularly beginning each section with a repeat of what has gone before.
