Bekka:

It's better to use active verbs--to say I phoned, I wrote, I produced, I directed, than to say I was responsible for phoning, writing, producing, and directing. It puts the emphasis on the action and says you actually DID these things, rather than that you were simply responsible for them.

Verbs are the best. (Adverbs, on the other hand, are practically unnecessary if you use the right verb, but that's another discussion!)
