What are some problems with highlighting duties over accomplishments in your resume?

Employer don't care as much about what you've done as much as they do about what you've accomplished in your various activities and how hiring you will improve their company. When crafting a resume it is important to not only show what was required but also demonstrate how you made a difference at each company.

How do you craft a strong argument?

Strong arguments must always be supported by facts and research, making sure the research you choose is the BEST you can find to emphasize your point. Strong arguments also must be original, offering a new perspective about the topic instead of simply restating what has already been covered. Finally, strong arguments must always prepare for and stand their ground against counter arguments before the arguments are even made.

What are the main components of structuring a sentence?

Sentences should always include a subject (noun), verb (predicate), and usually an object.
