Resume Revisions

I have begun reviewing the first drafts of your resumes. Below I have listed some good one-liners that might be used in a resume. Remember that I want you to use power words like covered, displayed, organized, prepared, introduced, calculated, operated, coordinated, and collaborated. Also, please don't just copy the template-change it to meet your needs and to describe your experiences. Let's keep improving these over the next couple of weeks.

Covered phones and front desk on a regular basis.

Displayed the ability to type 30-40 words per a minute
