Job hunters are fighting a battle of words in resume writing. The Resume Dictionary is giving them the edge to get recognized and in the door.

St. Louis, MO (September 15, 2010) - Job hunters are fighting a battle of words. As unemployment has reached the highest levels in a quarter century and continues to ebb higher, their frustration is boiling over. With more people each day competing for jobs, resume writing has never been more critical to survival; and resumes and cover letters are words. Words are a vital weapon of the job hunter. Resumes, cover letters, follow up letters, and interviews are words that must be carefully selected.

Officially launched in 2009, the Resume Dictionary (www.resumedictionary.com) is the job seeker's power tool for resume writing. The free online Resume Dictionary enables job hunters to find power words and phrases that will give their resume the edge needed to land the interview.

"Employers that are hiring must attempt to qualify candidates by sorting through endless heaps of resumes. Human resource professionals are looking for specific key words and phrases that signal a candidate possesses the skills and abilities needed to do the job," Resume Dictionary founder Phil Baker said. "These desired attributes are frequently listed right on the job description - all candidates need to do is search the Resume Dictionary to find power words in focused examples that demonstrate they have these skills and abilities."

The Resume Dictionary is designed with the job seeker's needs in mind. Candidates can browse the Resume Dictionary to find power words for abilities and positive traits, such as "Demonstrate Responsibility" and "Show Attention to Detail," or search for words that pertain to specific skills such as clerical, analytical, communication, or technical abilities.

Each entry includes a resume-specific definition, a resume-writing formula, and examples of how to use the power word to demonstrate resume skills and abilities. Entries also list synonyms for the word or phrase and explain how candidates can use the word to achieve optimum results.

Baker said ResumeDictionary.com is the first resume writing tool of its kind on the Web. "No other site on the Web gives job seekers the same tools for resume-writing success," Baker said. "We've reviewed thousands of job postings to compile a list of the most in-demand skills and abilities, and work tirelessly to create and maintain this resource to help job seekers showcase these desired traits."
