Developmental Issues

​When it comes to writing the perfect resume, much of it has to do with how it’s worded. Using words and phrases that sound too repetitive, especially if it’s listed job after job, tends to make the resume look a bit too mundane. It suggests, as a job seeker, there is a lack of vocabulary skills. This, oddly enough, is something hiring managers will look at as they filter through one applicant after another to find that ideal candidate to join their company.

​Not Under Development

One of the most commonly used words used within resumes and cover letters is the word develop. Although it (and its variations) is not an evil word, it is one that seems to be over-used when an applicant describes themselves.

Yes, the word development seems to sound sophisticated enough. Why not use it?

Hey, we’re not saying to never use the word develop, nor the different extensions of it! What we are suggesting is using alternative words in place of it so that it makes your resume come across as something more professional. The word of develop is okay. There really isn’t anything wrong with it. However, too many applicants use it and to the eyes of a hiring manager or employer, the word develop has become boring.

And, if you want your resume to stand out from the rest of the crowd, the last thing you want to come across is boring!

​Break The Mould

The purpose of this article is to provide a step-by-step guide on how to write a resume with wording other than develop (and its extensions). While the rest of the job applicants favour what truly has become an over-used word from the dictionary, your usage of using synonyms similar to develop within your resume will have you break out of the mould as someone who seems to have a vocabulary index that is more evolved.

​What Is A Synonym?

According to the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary;

syn·​o·​nym | \ ˈsi-nə-ˌnim \

​Definition of synonym

1: one of two or more words or expressions of the same language that have the same or nearly the same meaning in some or all senses

2a: a word or phrase that by association is held to embody something (such as a concept or quality)a tyrant whose name has become a synonym for oppression

b: METONYM

3: one of two or more scientific names used to designate the same taxonomic group

​Exploring Synonyms Of Develop

Sticking with Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, we have collected some of their top words from their thesaurus, all synonymous with the word develop that can be put in your resume.

They are as follows;

• acquire

• amplify

• cultivate

• elaborate

• enlarge

• evolve

• expand

• form

• grow

• mature

• process

​Exploring The Words

We will now go into further depth about each of the words listed above, explaining and illustrating why each of them makes better alternatives to the word develop (and its extensions). Each word will be also accompanied by what it means in the dictionary, along with its variations. The dictionary reference we are using is from Merriam-Webster.

​Acquire “As a customer service agent, acquired extensive knowledge within the retail industry.”

• ac·​quire | \ ə-ˈkwī(-ə)r \ acquired; acquiring

(transitive verb.)

1: to get as one’s own:

a: to come into possession or control of often by unspecified means

• acquire property

The team acquired three new players this year.

b: to come to have as a new or added characteristic, trait, or ability (as by sustained effort or natural selection)

• acquire fluency in French

• bacteria that acquire tolerance to antibiotics

2: to locate and hold (a desired object) in a detector

• acquire a target by radar

Let’s compare between the words acquire and develop as a resume entry;

I developed extensive knowledge in the retail industry as a customer service agent.

As a customer service agent, acquired extensive knowledge within the retail industry.

Which of the two sounded better to you? In this case, using the word acquired as opposed to developed is more dynamic.

Amplify

• am·​pli·​fy | \ ˈam-plə-ˌfī \amplified; amplifying

1: to expand (something, such as a statement) by the use of detail or illustration or by closer analysis

2a: to make larger or greater (as in amount, importance, or intensity) : INCREASE

b: to increase the strength or amount of especially : to make louder

c: to cause (a gene or DNA sequence) to undergo amplification

Comparing the two words, amplify and develop, let’s see how they look as part of a resume submission;

Came up with a better formula toward the development of a better sales strategy for the company’s marketing goals.

The amplification of a better sales strategy to meet the company’s marketing goals came about by improving on its formula.

Although both entries are good, using the term amplification sounds more advanced than development. When a potential employer is looking at someone’s resume, they’re looking for someone who shows signs of moving up and forward. Between the two entries, the second is more effective in that regard than the first one.

​Cultivate “Cultivating a better crop harvest as a farming technician through proven seeding procedures that provide positive results.”

• cul·​ti·​vate | \ ˈkəl-tə-ˌvāt \

  cultivated; cultivating

1: to prepare or prepare and use for the raising of crops

Some fields are cultivated while others lie fallow.

also: to loosen or break up the soil about (growing plants)

2a: to foster the growth of

• cultivate vegetables

• cultivate coffee

b: CULTURE sense 2a

• cultivate oysters for pearls

c: to improve by labour, care, or study: REFINE

• cultivate the mind…

• cultivated a reputation as a hard-core wheeler-dealer …— Kit Boss

3: FURTHER, ENCOURAGE

• cultivate the arts

4: to seek the society of: make friends with

• looking for influential people to cultivate as friends

Between the words develop and cultivate used in a resume, which sounds better?

Developing a better crop harvest as a farming technician through a proven seeding procedure has seen positive results.

Cultivating a better crop harvest as a farming technician through proven seeding procedures that provide positive results.

Cultivating is more precise as a description. Developing is too generalized. Keep this in mind as you choose how you wish to word whatever you put on your resume. Do you want to be seen as someone bland by being too general with what you put down, or would you rather come across as someone who thinks and acts with better precision?

​Elaborate “Whenever we’d submit business proposals for funding purposes, an elaborate step-by-step plan is laid out.”

elab·​o·​rate | \ i-ˈla-b(ə-)rət \

(Entry 1 of 2)

1: planned or carried out with great care

• took elaborate precautions

2: marked by complexity, fullness of detail, or ornateness

• elaborate prose

• elaborate

elab·​o·​rate | \ i-ˈla-bə-ˌrāt \

elaborated; elaborating

(Entry 2 of 2)

1: to work out in detail: DEVELOP

• elaborate a theory

2: to produce by labour

3: to build up (something, such as complex organic compounds) from simple ingredients

Now, as a resume entry, let’s see how elaborate compares with develop;

When submitting business proposals for funding purposes, we’d develop a step-by-step plan.

Whenever we’d submit business proposals for funding purposes, an elaborate step-by-step plan is laid out.

Again, what sounds better here? Elaborate is not a word used often, so it actually pops out more than develop. Something like this gets noticed, which is to your advantage when this particular word is used right.

​Enlarge “Enlarged an understanding of how carburetors work while working as a small engine mechanic.”

en·​large | \ in-ˈlärj , en- \

enlarged; enlarging

1: to make larger : EXTEND

• enlarged the family fortune with new investments

2: to give greater scope to: EXPAND

• education may enlarge one’s view of the world

3: to set free

• enlarge a captive

Within a resume, which of the two words between expand and develop works best?

As a small engine mechanic, I developed a better understanding of how carburetors work.

Enlarged an understanding of how carburetors work while working as a small engine mechanic.

Enlarge is not a word commonly used within the English language. Because of this, choosing it over develop once again makes it a more dynamic choice when placed within a resume entry.

​Evolve “While working at the lumber mill, the knowledge based evolved, going from an entry-level position to management.”

\ i-ˈvälv , -ˈvȯlv, ē- also -ˈväv or -ˈvȯv \

evolved; evolving

1: EMIT

2a: DERIVE, EDUCE

b: to produce by natural evolutionary processes

c: DEVELOP, WORK OUT

• evolve social, political, and literary philosophies— L. W. Doob

Between evolve and develop, which resume entry sounds better to you?

From entry-level to management, developed better knowledge while working at the lumber mill.

While working at the lumber mill, the knowledge based evolved, going from an entry-level position to management.

There is just simply something special about using the word evolve. Compared to develop, it garners more attention whenever somebody happens to read it. In regards to the person in charge of hiring the best candidate for the job, there will typically be a preference of an evolving person as opposed to a developing one. Everyone can develop, but not everyone can evolve!

​Expand “Employers can identify with the word expand as this is what they are aiming to do when looking for somebody new to join their company’s team.”

ex·​pand | \ ik-ˈspand \

expanded; expanding; expands

1: to open up: UNFOLD

2: to increase the extent, number, volume, or scope of ENLARGE

3a: to express at length or in greater detail

b: to write out in full

• expand all abbreviations

c: to subject to mathematical expansion

• expand a function in a power series

Now, between expand and develop, here are two resume entry examples to look at;

As we developed as business partners, we opened up a second store, located on the other side of the city.

As business partners, expanded to a second store location at the other side of the city.

Employers can identify with the word expand as this is what they are aiming to do when looking for somebody new to join their company’s team. In truth, the word develop doesn’t make nearly as impressive a statement as expand does. Again, when looking to choose what words you’d like to use on your resume, try to look at it from an employer’s point of view. Because, in reality, that is exactly how your resume will be seen by them.

Form is a big word, yet it is so small in spelling. However, it goes much further as resume entries than the word develop does. Instead of just one set of examples how to favour form over develop as a resume entry, we have used two;

#1

We developed a unique fashion line that turns ordinary scrub uniforms into something extraordinary.

A unique fashion line was formed, turning ordinary scrub uniforms into something extraordinary.

#2

We developed solutions for customer service reps on how to handle stressful situations without losing their composure.

Formulated sound solutions for customer service representatives to handle the most stressful situations without losing their composure.

For such a small word, form has a certain feel of sophistication when it is used properly. And, on a resume, it stands out more than develop. Form sounds like a word with scientific purpose while develop sounds like an accident.

​Grow “The growth of understanding the difference between clean and unclean urine samples has played a factor in the growing experience as a lab technician.”

\ ˈgrō \

grew\ ˈgrü \; grown\ ˈgrōn \; growing

1a: to cause to grow

• grow wheat

b: to let grow on the body

• grew a beard

2: to promote the development of

• start a business and grow it successfully

Which sounds better? Develop or grow? Let’s find out with these resume examples;

Since my development as a lab technician, I have developed a better understanding of how to distinguish the difference between clean urine samples from unclean.

The growth of understanding the difference between clean and unclean urine samples has played a factor in the growing experience as a lab technician.

Employers relate to the word grow better than the word develop. Employers want their company to grow, which seems more evolutionary than to merely develop.

​Mature “The overall experience level as a dog trainer has matured over time.”

ma·​ture | \ mə-ˈchu̇r , -ˈchər also -ˈtu̇r , -ˈtyu̇r \

maturer; maturest

(Entry 1 of 2)

1: based on slow careful consideration

• a mature judgment

2a(1): having completed natural growth and development: RIPE

• mature fruit

(2): having undergone maturation

b: having attained a final or desired state

• mature wine

c: having achieved a low but stable growth rate

• paper is a mature industry

d: of, relating to, or being an older adult: ELDERLY

• airline discounts for mature travelers

3a: of or relating to a condition of full development

• a man of mature years

b: characteristic of or suitable to a mature individual

• mature outlook

• a show with mature content

4: due for payment

• a mature loan

5: belonging to the middle portion of a cycle of erosion

• a mature stream

• mature

matured; maturing

: to bring to maturity or completion

The word mature literally brings maturity to a resume entry than the word develop. Check out the two examples of how these two different words are used in a resume entry;

Over time, my experience level as a dog trainer has developed into what it is today.

The overall experience level as a dog trainer has matured over time.

Maturity shows growth, whereas development really doesn’t. Development is merely a transition from one thing to another. Maturity is going from the lack of something into one that is more abundant. Potential employers tend to seek out candidates who come across as mature, so seeing a word matching what they’re looking for will help in this regard.

​Process “While among a team of legal advisors, processed a series of statements with convincing opening arguments.”

processed; processing; processes

1a: to proceed against by law : PROSECUTE

b(1): to take out a summons against

(2): to serve a summons on

2a: to subject to a special process or treatment (as in the course of manufacture or film development)

b(1): to subject to or handle through an established usually routine set of procedures

• process insurance claims

(2): to integrate sensory information received so that an action or response is generated

• the brain processes visual images relayed from the retina

(3): to subject to examination or analysis

• computers process data

c: to work (hair) into a conk

Between develop and process, as a resume entry describing achievements, which sounds better?

As part of a team of legal advisers, developed a series of convincing arguments as opening statements.

While among a team of legal advisors, processed a series of statements with convincing opening arguments.

Everything has a process, including resumes. When potential employers go over each candidate, they literally will distinguish the difference between someone who uses the word process from someone who uses the word develop. Typically, employers are going to favour resumes coming from the candidate who chose to use process as their word of choice as opposed to the one who used develop.

---

​It Really Is In The Wording

In the end, in order to have that genuine “look at me” resume that catches the eye of potential employers, one needs to step out of the box of the norm. Normal is good, but when it also comes across as boring, then this is where the need to step it up comes into play.

If you really want that dream job, then you need to give your potential employer that dream resume they’re looking for!
