Before

Skip participated in
Flagged for the same reason.
Skip engaged in
Also flagged.

Office jargon.

Vague, and sounds like a chore.
Worked on questions
What's a better way to say worked on in a resume?
Say what you did to it: built, wrote or designed; fixed, redesigned or updated; analyzed, tested or researched. If it was a team effort, say your part.
Why is worked on weak?
It says you were near the work without saying what you did. A recruiter can't tell if you led it or fixed a typo.
How do I describe a group project on a resume?
Give the size of the group and your part: “One of five students who built a budgeting app; designed the database and the sign-up flow.”
Does the bullet checker flag worked on?
Yes. It's on the weak-opener list with responsible for, helped with and participated in.
