Power Words

It’s interesting to see how certain resumes can be worded. For instance, I am reminded of one particular job where the person was a manager of a fast food joint. This is what he put down:

“Managed Fast Food place”

Not exactly thrilling, is it? No, you need to be descriptive. You need to say what exactly you did. If you were an employer, would you give precedence to the person above, or someone who wrote this:

Managed day-to-day activities and was responsible for several employees with Fast Food Co.

Point being, the more specific you get, the better looking your resume will be. Words that sound fancy look good, but don’t overuse them, because either your prospective employer will be confused, or think you are full of baloney.

Remember: On a Resume, words are power!
