Regardless of what type of resume you select, ACTION WORDS  (Click the link) will make your resume sing! 
You should start each of your tasks with an action word. If you are unsure what the word means, be sure to look it up in the dictionary. If it is not a word you would normally use in your everyday language, then do not use it on your resume.

For example:
If you would not normally say that you helped customers, then use those words. Don't use overpowering words such as "Provided Excellent Customer Service" if you would not normally say those words.

Here are some practical Do's and Don'ts for resumes.
