When you write your resume, be sure to showcase your skills to their best advantage.  Word choice truly is everything. The way you describe your previous job and the skills you used can make all the difference in the number of interviews you are offered.  Use these tips to show off your skills:

•  Use Attention Grabbing Verbs: Use management oriented verbs that show off your skills.
• Make Strong Word Choices:  Your job wasn’t “bookkeeping”. It was ” Management of A/R and A/P accounts”  Whenever possible use words like”organized, managed, and supervised”
• Use Titles and Headings that Match the Job You  Want

Correctly showing off your skills can be the ticket to more interviews and higher salary offers. Check and double check your resume to make sure it is as powerful as possible. Use strong verbs, attention grabbing titles, and be sure to match your descriptions to the job you are applying for. Confidence is key - remember that your resume is nothing more than an advertisement for a very important product - YOU!
