I was scanning through one of my favorite Infographics blogs a feed of infographic-related tweets this morning, taking quick peeks at a variety of projects for design ideas, when I hit this one, “20 Resume Power Words.” There was nothing about the design that caught my eye, so I swiped on to the next one. But then, about three graphics later, my mind finally registered on some of the words, and I backed up to look a little more closely.

On second glance, I realized that there was not a one of these words that any good teacher couldn’t “use in a sentence” to describe what he or she can do or has accomplished.
If this list can truly energize your resume, then you can get a better job!
Ok, there is no better job than teaching. There is no more exciting profession, and it’s going to – trust me – get a lot better. But there are jobs that will, right now, earn you more respect, more support, more hours for lunch, more chances to travel, less stress, less emotional chaos, and in many states, a lot more money.
In North Carolina, a starting teacher now makes less money than what fast-food workers are currently striking to earn.

‘nough said!
Great post and love the list! David, would you please post the link to the Infographic blog where you found this. Thanks so much!
@Cyndi, thanks for letting me know that I had left that link out. But when I went back to see (I was reading from Flipboard (app) on my iPad) I saw that it was not actually a blog, but a feed of recent Twitter tweets that mention “infographic.”
Sorry for the confusion.
