Your résumé is your own personal sales pitch. Keywords are an integral part of that pitch. While you are describing your accomplishments, be sure to use powerful keywords to signify importance and magnitude of those feats. It is not time to be modest. Use strong action verbs that really drive home what you’re trying to say. Use industry terms, where appropriate, if you are seeking a job similar to your current position. The company will understand this terminology and be relieved to know that you are competent enough to comprehend them as well.

Another significant part of an accomplishment driven résumé is format. Do not clump your achievements and responsibilities together. You can write an overview of your responsibilities in a paragraph and then highlight your accomplishments with bullets. You don’t want to have everything in a paragraph, and likewise, not everything in a bullet format. You must draw reader’s eye to important parts that you really want to sell. If everything looks same, nothing will stand out.

Using these techniques, you are on your way to writing an accomplishment driven, extremely effective résumé. Your potential employers will not only see what you have achieved in past, but what you could offer them in future.
