What Is This

Tired of googling words for your resume? Need a better word to replace the verb of your choice? Then you've come to the right place! This online tool will help you find more effective and powerful words for your resume.

How to Use

  1. Enter a verb which you want to replace with an action verb that has a similar meaning to it and click "Find" button.
  2. If the verb you've entered is an action verb, the boundary of the search bar will be highlighted in blue.
  3. Out of all the synonyms, action verbs are highlighted in blue.
  4. Consider using them in your resume!

Example

search results for "make"

More

  • Developed by a student suffering from writing a resume
  • Powered by Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Thesaurus
  • Based on career guides from seven top universities in the US

TODOs

  • Add more action verbs
  • Add responsive design
  • Use colorblind-friendly colors
  • Replace API with web scraper
  • One limitation is that it ignores the context the words are used in; for instance, one definition of "use" is "to take unfair advantage of" (which is very unlikely to be meant when used in resume) and the synonym "play" is highlighted as an action verb though it isn't meant to be used in that way)
