500+ Positive Action Verbs To Actually Use on Your Resume
Photo by Joanna Kosinska

Good resumes highlight achievements that are most relevant when applying for a job.

But there's a trap.

On the one hand, these are your achievements, so it could make sense to write “I grew…”, “I built…”, “I led…” and so on.

On the other hand, there's a good reason why first-person resumes are frowned upon: as the saying goes, there's no “I” in “team”, and all those “I's” make you sound self-centered with a big ego.

  5. Avi Rosenberg

    This is a great list, but it would also be nice to have a list like this in Hebrew.

  6. Senthil Nambi

    Of course it helps if you really do display the characteristics behind those action words.

  7. David B. Wright

    This is a great list and more thorough than many I’ve seen.

    Of course, as @senthilnambi pointed out, you must display the characteristics behind the words – but provided that you do, this can help your resume stand out further by getting away from standard, boring phrases like “responsible for” and “duties included”. Focus on results you achieved, not just re-hashing your job description.

  8. Mrs. Laughingpants

    A great list of verbs. I agree that your resume you should use active verb instead of passive verb. There are so many tools for job seekers. You just have to pay attention and use the resources available.

  9. Ron Pierce

    I am curious as to why ‘utilized’ is present. It always struck me as an odd, out-of-place-anywhere-it-was-used kind of word.

  10. Samatha

    I’m not one to be pedantic, but the word ‘resume’ is missing the accent over the ‘e’. Punctuation ain’t in the list. Well, I must now resume my previous activity.

    coming from a U N background you left out one of our faves – ‘positioned’. well done list.

    barry- ‘positioned’ seems neither positive nor negative, but it does depend on the context. Can you give me an example where it’s used positively e.g. by people at the UN?

  28. Brian

    This is a great list. It can be difficult sometimes to dig out of your brain just the right word for your resume or in other writing situations and a thesaurus does not always help. I got a few good positive verbs here. Thanks and good luck with your site!

  29. mcd

    Like how it has “Inspected,” “Pursued,” “Ran,” “Tackled,” “Arrested,” and “Questioned,” but not Convicted. Great resume material.

  30. Jacob Share

    mcd- perhaps for e.g. law enforcement positions, “convicted” could be used as a positive resume verb. I’ve added it.

    If I ever teach English again, I’ll use this list to teach people how to write their resumes.

  34. Kate

    I tweeted this so other English teachers can use the list too.

      Awesome, thanks Lauren! Added it to the list

    “Orchestrated” sounds like a bit too much to me. Unless you’re an orchestra conductor. 🙂

    1. Jacob Share

      😀

      Actually, “orchestrated” also means something in the IT industry. Truth be told, not all the verbs in the list are relevant for every industry. First-time job seekers are more likely to have a problem recognizing what’s proper, but regardless, any job seeker can google industry resumes + the action verb they’re considering to look for precedence.
