Your resume gets rejected because you don't use Power words on your Resume! E.g. You only write: Responsible for this and that...
NO! Use these words instead... 👇

For Achievement or Personal award:
Recognized for
Succeeded in
Earned
Won
For Leadership:
Guided
Headed
Oversaw
Organized
For your impact on company revenue/growth:
Maximized
Generated
Expanded
Boosted
For improving a process:
Re-engineered
Overhauled
Restructured
Transformed
For creating a new process or initiative:
Initiated
Implemented
Established
Introduced
Launched
Note: All power verbs must be in past tenses!
Remember - Don't write your responsibilities in your resume, no one is interested in that!
No one cares what you did, but what you've contributed!
