As we know, the way we do business is steadily changing. Thus, it also changes what we need to capture the attention of a recruiter, human resource business partner, and/or manager when applying for these businesses and/or organizations. This is where Power Words come into play. Power Words are action words or verbs. A Power Word can definitely catch a person's eye and attention if used correctly. There are several tools businesses/organizations are utilizing in order to minimize their time spent on candidates who do not possess the skills the business/organization is looking for currently.
