As promised in the last blog about resumes, CareerBuilder also queried the participants on the most effective terms used on the resumes they see on a regular basis. Here’s the list:
- Achieved: 52%
- Improved: 48%
- Trained/mentored: 47%
- Managed: 44%
- Created: 43%
- Resolved: 40%
- Volunteered: 35%
- Influenced: 29%
- Increased/decreased: 28%
- Ideas: 27%
- Negotiated: 25%
- Launched: 24%
- Revenue/profits: 23%
- Under budget: 16%
- Won: 13%
