Good action verbs for resume?

dominated, conquered, vanquished, exploded, winning.

In all seriousness though, I think that what is more important is what you are "performing" rather than how you describe it (assuming you meet the baseline, which I'm assuming you do and can write at the level I am describing).

Designed, implemented, recognized (for....), Elected, Developed, Prepared, Successfully completed..., Accomplished, Managed, Served, Organized, Created. Hah just read down the left hand column of my resume - hope that helps

i like built and hate prepared but that's just me.

merked

masturbate

spearheaded

MomentaLaugh:

Performed, led, sourced...

any others?

Performed is not a good action verb. You want a more specific word IMO.

i.e. "Constructed LBO model for the acquisition of XYZ by ABC Private Equity Group"

Go to your career services center. It should have a list, and hopefully one that is broken out by specialization.

Created, developed, managed, enhanced, devised, secured, delivered, restructured, raised, garnered, led, selected, received, headed.

Analyzed, researched, prepared
