Drop these 6 words from your CV, now!
Well, ya, accordingly to Lifehacker, we should all be dropping the following 6 words from our CV’s:
- Responsible for
- Experienced
- Excellent written communication skills
- Team player
- Detail oriented
- Successful
According to the author, these common phrases are problematic because they gloss over what should be an opportunity to demonstrate something specific that you’ve done. Sure a hiring manager wants you to have experience, but she’d rather know the details.
Interesting!
