English term or phrase: strong action words
Hi, I am translating a recruitment related text. In particular, this document explains how to address the selection criteria of a vacancy. Here is the sentence:

"Employers do not have time to ‘read between the lines’ so make your responses concise, direct, relevant and easy to read. As well as reviewing for grammar, spelling, layout and word limit, ensure you have used positive language and *strong action words.* "

I can't think of a suitable translation, please help!

Grazie e auguri!

The following list of action verbs can be used selectively for a variety of purposes. Analysis of your own skills and qualities will enable you to add other appropriate words to this list and suggest which words can most accurately describe your suitability for a particular job.
You may prefer to use the present tense and end the action words with .... ing.

neutral  Danila Moro: e però per "action words", se vai a vedere in rete sono indicate liste di parole ben precise, quindi secondo me bisogna cercare di rendere anche questo termine/non mi sembra chiarissimo in italiano.. se leggi le parole, sembrano indicare un conseguimento
