Many candidates find it difficult to capture their experience on their resume, so what ends up happening is a pretty generic explanation of their role and responsibility with little detail on their impact and contribution.

Lifehacker had a great simple tip to create compelling resumes by avoiding 6 commonly used words on a resume - ditch these six words from the fold.

Many of these words are on my most current resume which I likely won’t change – but I think their point about having details is solid.   Definitely worth a try!
