Many websites and resources cover the topic of using action words, or power words, in a resume.
-
Throughout my job hunt, I used resume word bank websites whenever I updated my resume.
-
However, it was challenging to go through all of them and recall which site had which words or categories.
-
With the help of ChatGPT, I created Power Words to consolidate these resources, and to offer a tool for anyone navigating the job hunt and looking to enhance their resume.
-
Using an accordion structure, Power Words offers comprehensive word options categorized into a variety of skills, synonyms, experiences, and industries.
