Resume synonyms
Synonyms for "Resolved" on a resume
"Resolved" is decent — it implies closure. It gets weak when used for volume work without numbers, because "resolved customer issues" describes every support job that has ever existed.
When to actually use "resolved"
Use it when you closed something out fully. Attach volume, speed, or the fact that it never came back.
