POWER VERBS FOR SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES

Md. Nasir Uddin

Here are some power verbs we often use when talking about our experience in certain jobs and industries. This is not a complete list of power verbs. I have covered some of the most common power verbs in the list below, but there are many more. Please note that the same power verbs can be used for many different jobs, so if you see a power verb in one job category such as medicine, it may also apply to a different job too.

Before you use a power verb on your resume, make sure you know its exact meaning and how to use it. You should look at many example sentences of how it is used before you use it. It's also a good idea to have someone check and make sure you've used it correctly.
