Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

“ Motivated “ in your resume? Don’t even say !




In your resume, if you write that you are “ motivated “, you are not alone.

In his profile, every jobseeker writes that he is motivated.

Since LinkedIn has profiles of over 85 million members, it was able to compile the following list of the most used / overused / abused words:

Ø   Motivated
Ø   Extensive experience
Ø   Innovative
Ø   Proven track record
Ø   Dynamic
Ø   Team player
Ø   Proactive
Ø   Entrepreneurial
Ø   Skill set
Ø   Problem solver

Spokesman of LinkedIn offers following advice to jobseekers ( jobless or even currently employed ) :

“ These phrases can appear empty to potential employer and may do more harm than good when you include them in your profile or resume. If you’re using any of these ten terms, wipe them out “.

In the meantime, recruiters are waiting for a software which will automatically reject any resume that contains more than 2 of these words !

With regards
