Use action verbs in your resume

Recently, i read an article regarding some tips on writing a CV. It states that we should use action verbs in the resume?

I am wondering what does this "action verbs" mean?
  

Top answer

Verbs that express the subject's doing something, rather than expressing the subject's state. I am a good listener= a state of the subject I listen well= an action I am eager to learn= a state I want to learn, or I strive to learn = actions
