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

Jobs for
All = Peace
on Earth
