Your resume needs to contain captivating and energizing words to visually excite the interviewer when looking through your application. Much like a bodybuilder is physically appealing because of his muscles, so do power words make your resume visually exciting.
Below is a list of vital power words to include in your resume, however please consider the grammar and sentence structure when adding in words - your resume still needs to make sense.

Try to incorporate words that suit the career niche that you are in. For example, if you are in the construction industry, you cannot use words like "authored" but instead "facilitated". Try to look at your resume from your own point of view as a professional in that industry and incorporate the words accordingly for a natural flow.
