Discussion 07.1: Using Power Verbs and Quantifiers

Practice Activity 2

Power Verbs and Quantifiers

Print a copy of the three job postings you found from your search on JCA or a web-based search engine such as Monster or Indeed. (Or, copy and paste them into a Word document.)

Highlight the skills and experiences that all three postings mention. These are the types of skills and experiences you should highlight on your résumé. Write them in the table below. Then, write a matching skill or experience you have. What power verb can you use to describe this? Finally, add a quantifier to describe your matching skill / experience. We’ve done one for you as an example!

Skills / Experience from Job Postings	My Matching Skill / Experience	Power Verb	Quantifier
