Avoid These Phrases to Keep Your Resume Relevant - Job search - Lifehacker
The last thing you want to appear like to your future employer is a resume writing drone—unless of course that's your target market. At The Savvy Networker blog, they assembled a list of the worst canned phrases in resume building:
* Results-oriented professional
* Cross-functional teams
* More than [x] years of progressively responsible experience
* Superior (or excellent) communication skills
* Strong work ethic
* Met or exceeded expectations
* Proven track record of success
* Works well with all levels of staff
* Team player
* Bottom-line orientation
What approach would they suggest you use? As the trend shifts away from bullet-based soundbite resumes it will be more important to write your resume to sound less like a ticker tape and more like you're actually describing the work you do.
