Struggling to find appropriate words to include in your resume? Active verbs can help to add focus and power.
For your current job, use the present tense (Example: "perform") when describing ongoing tasks. However, if the task in your current job has been completed or is non-recurring, then the verb may appear in the past tense (Example: "created").
Furthermore, it's important to include keywords, buzzwords, and technical jargon related to your occupation and industry, when appropriate, to prove that you match specific requirements in the company's job description.
