How It Helps Your Business English
A career article built around a long list of action verbs for resume bullet points. It explains what an action verb is and why one carries more weight than a noun phrase, then groups the verbs by what they describe: leading a project, raising efficiency or revenue, improving something, managing a team, winning clients, supporting customers, research, communicating and achieving.
You read the opening section to see how a verb changes a line, then go to the group that matches what you actually did in a role and pick the verb that fits. Replace the first word of each bullet point on your resume with it, and keep the list open as a reference while you work through the rest. Reading the line aloud shows whether the verb sounds natural.
