Google HR team suggests these: They recommend job applicants to get rid of weak action verbs. Don't use 'I helped,' 'I was responsible for".  Instead of the passive language on the resume, Rivera (HR) recommended applicants to use active verbs like-streamlined, managed, implemented, improved, strategized, increased, produced, and generated.
