Action Verb List

Action Verbs are critical to building an effective PAR statement in resumés and interview preparation. PAR stands for “Problem, Action, Result.” This is a precise framework to showcasing your problem-solving skills with specific examples.

Many applicants can easily identify a “problem” that they had to overcome, but often struggle with choosing the most effective action verb. Instead, they rely on repeating the same verbs, such as “developed” or “lead.” This resource helps you find the precise word you may need to help strengthen your resumé.
