Next you need to add words and phrases that give added positive impact or "energise" your CV.

It also helps to demonstrate a level of intelligence in your CV. This is a bit of a nebulous idea, but these phrases and words will give you an idea.

  • logical

  • questioning / probing mind

  • quick thinking

  • common sense (approach)

  • creative

  • ideas person

  • problem solver

  • high mental capacity

  • analytical

Finally, there are some good all round phrases and words that generally put some positive sell into your words. Again, make sure you get a good few of these phrases in, they will just help make your final resume that much easier to read. They will also help you get picked for interview.

  • self-confident

  • conscientious

  • disciplined

  • discreet

  • persuasive

  • good aptitude for...

  • competitive

  • tactful

  • successful

  • self-starter

  • thrive on...

  • good listener

  • good work ethic

  • excel at

  • necessary ingredients for...

  • never assume

  • fact finder

  • self-reliant

These words and phrases can also be used to good effect on your covering letter when applying for jobs.  And, come to think of it, why not use them on application forms as well?  As I have said many times, (and at the risk of being boring) give yourself as many advantages over the competition as possible, and the interviewer as many reasons as possible to call you for interview rather than the other chap!

             Happy writing.
