Resume Action Words - A Guide to Writing Them

Resume Action Words - A Guide to Writing ThemIf you want to write resume action words in less than ten minutes, you can't. Unless you have a clear understanding of the format and grammar required by these words, there's simply no way you can do so without putting in the effort. You can even ruin your chances of success if you don't put the right mindset into practice.Take some time to learn about the basics of writing the action words and avoid throwing them into your resume incorrectly. This doesn't mean you need to be at the stage where you are fluent in the use of the word, though. Just be sure you know how to write it correctly. Otherwise, your resume will look terrible and you'll suffer the consequences.The first step when writing action words is knowing that there are two types of information you want to convey to the reader. One is the top of the document, the other is beneath it. These types of information are often referred to as the lead and follow, though you could also th ink of them as the body and the contents.When you write action words that contain leads, you're essentially describing what the reader is going to see. That means the focus of the action should be on what you intend the reader to see. Everything else should be just a supporting detail.On the other hand, the follow is designed to give the reader a sense of what is happening in the main body of the document. For example, it might contain a list of accomplishments, a summary of accomplishments, or any number of other things. While the purpose of the follow might not be the focus of the action, the follow still serves as an added support for the main body. It also includes any attachments to the main body such as resumes or cover letters.Once you understand the differences between the lead and the follow, you can start to write resume action words that contain both of these concepts. Keep the follow within the first paragraph. After you've described what the following is, you can includ e those qualities that your resume aims to showcase in the follow.You'll find that this process, with its emphasis on features and details, makes it possible to create resume action words quickly. There's no need to add extra stress by trying to make each one stand out, since they have already been highlighted. This means you don't have to spend valuable time trying to make a good impression on the reader.

GOP Tax Bill What Will Change for Students

GOP Tax Bill What Will Change for Students House Republicans unveiled their long-awaited tax reform proposal Thursdayâ€"and a handful of popular breaks for education are on the chopping block. The GOP wants to combine three separate tax credits for higher education expenses into one, and eliminate both the student loan interest deduction and tax-free tuition reimbursement from employers. The bill also calls for a new tax on wealthy universities’ endowments. Here’s a breakdown of the proposed changes. Tax Credits Combined The GOP plan would repeal two of three existing tax credits: the Lifetime Learning Credit and Hope Scholarship Credit. The Lifetime Learning Credit offsets 20% of the first $10,000 of qualified education expensesâ€"reducing your tax bill by as much as $2,000â€"and can be used for as many years as you want, but it comes with an income cap: your modified adjusted gross income must be $65,00 for single filers or $131,000 for married filers. The Hope Scholarship Credit is the least generous and least used of the existing education credits. Cutting the two credits would bring in $17.3 billion in federal revenue over the next decade, according to the bill. In place of those two cuts, the bill extends the American Opportunity Tax Credit for one extra year, making it a tax break that students can take for up to five years. For the first four years, the AOTC lets you get up to $2,500 back if you spend $4,000 on tuition and feesâ€"no change thereâ€"but for the fifth year, under the new tax plan, the size of the tax break would be halved, so it would be worth only $1,250. You can take the AOTC if you earn below $90,000 as a single filer or $180,000 if married and filing jointly. The AOTC is also refundable, so even if you don’t owe any federal taxes, you can get up to $1,000 back. “Some of these education tax preferences are popular,” Scott Greenberg, a senior analyst at the Tax Foundation tweeted while reviewing the changes. “Lawmakers seem to be willing to go after sacred cows.” Student Loan Interest Deduction Cut The GOP plan also eliminates the student loan interest deduction. Under current rules, borrowers paying off education loans can deduct up to $2,500 of interest paid on student loans. Deductions, which lower your taxable income, are nearly always less valuable than credits, which reduce you tax liability dollar-for-dollar. So the maximum benefit from the student loan interest deduction is $625, and the average benefit is just $202, according to an analysis from the American Enterprise Institute. Still, this tax break is popular. Yo millennials, this is what happens when republicans control congress. If their tax bill passes, ur student loan interest deduction is gone https://t.co/6HLflC09g7 â€" Ivan Campbell (@blkthght06) November 2, 2017 About 12.4 million people claimed it for the 2015 tax yearâ€"more than double as many who claimed the AOTC, according to the IRS. That may be because you can claim the student loan break for several years after college while paying off loans, while the credit is limited to money spent on college in a given tax year. Other Education-Related Changes The Republican tax plan contains several other changes. It eliminates the tax-free status of employer tuition reimbursements, up to $5,250 a year. It would also bar new contributions to Coverdell Saving Accounts, relatively little used (but tax-free) accounts; existing Coverdells would be rolled over into 529 plans. It also declines to renew a deduction for tuition and fees that expired last year. Republication lawmakers say eliminating these breaks, along with two other smaller changes, will add up to $47.5 billion over 10 years. The bill would also create a new tax on some colleges: Private universities with at least 500 students and assets of more than $100,000 per student could face a new 1.4% excise tax on investment returns. That would largely affect the country’s wealthiest colleges, which have big endowments. Rich colleges have been a target of Congressional Republicans before, and this comes amid renewed broader scrutiny of university endowmentsâ€"including calls from some lawmakers that universities should be required to spend a larger amount of their endowments each year. Overall, Republicans say this plan will “streamline” education benefits for families, and that’s a net positive. The current benefits are “so complicated that they are ineffective because many taxpayers cannot determine the tax benefits for which they are eligible,” it reads. But some education experts offered opposite views. The American Association of State Colleges and Universities said in a statement soon after the bill was released that the tax plan will undermine public higher education through changes to tax breaks for students and families, as well as tax benefits for colleges, among other aspects of the plan. “These changes together would make college less affordable for the vast majority of students who access higher education through public colleges and universities,” the group said. Barmak Nassirian, director of federal relations and policy analysis at the association, said in a tweet the changes are “cuts masquerading as ‘streamlining.'” And the Association of American Universities, which represents 62 prestigious research universities, said taxing endowments is “short-sighted move that will only harm students and families.” There is one uniformly positive change for student borrowers in the bill: people who have their loans discharged for death or disability would no longer have to pay income taxes on the amount forgiven.
