I am polishing my cv for a position that I am interested in. When I see the cv, it seems I got too many action words. Here are the following words that I start the sentence. Now I am wondering if I am overdoing them. I dont want to turn off the person who is looking at the cv. I have everything bulleted and starts with these action words:
Researched, Analyzed, Developed, Currently managing, Coordinated, Performed
Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.

One format I really liked is to split your projects/engagements into a three column table - Engagement, Action, Result.
In the Engagement column provide a brief description of the project and the high level expectations from you.
In the Action section, you can use your "action" words to describe exactly what you did.
In the Results section, briefly tell about the benefits that your customer derived from your actions (reduce costs, increase revenue, record sales, etc.).
I saw this format in one of my friends' resume and really liked it.
