Action verbs are for the people (as opposed to the resume-scanning software) who will read the resume. Power words are verbs used to construct action statements to describe the candidate's experience, accomplishments, traits, and other qualifications for the job. These action statements are persuasive to human readers. Keywords are for the computers that are programmed to search resumes for specific terms that match the job requirements. They name the attributes that job candidates must have.
