The company people responsible for hiring employees like you are very much partial to seeing real, solid numbers on a resume, so complement your action words for resumes with quantifiable and measurable results whenever you can. Other ways to improve your resume action words include limiting your use of articles (a, an, the), and avoiding tired and overused resume buzz words such as hard worker, go-getter, team player, etc. You’ll need to think of fresher words to use if you want your resume to instantly grab the reader’s attention, so for instance, another word for team player would be a collaborator.
