Okay, friends.

Okay, friends. Here's what we're NOT going to do anymore.

❌ "Worked on"

❌ "Responsible for"

❌ "Supported"

I've seen enough work from fabulous people like YOU to know that your resume ✍ and LinkedIn profile deserve much more than those words.

You're faster, stronger, and smarter than those words.

You make more impact than those words.

You should be giving yourself more CREDIT than those words.

It's great that you worked on something, but what did you achieve?

It's cool that you were responsible for something, but were you good at it?

I love that you supported something, but how specifically and did it go well?

So with this in mind, give your resume a quick scan, look for those all too common phrases, and highlight them in yellow. ?

THEN take this big old resume action verb list I put together and swap those bullet points out for accomplishments and STRONG action words.

Boom! How's that for a confidence boost! And that confidence is going to put you five steps closer to landing that fulfilling job you love without giving up the flexibility you need. I love that journey for you!

You've got this.
