The new list of overused resume buzzwords is here...

Are you creative?

If so, you’d better find a more creative way of saying that on your resume. The word creative came in at number one as the most overused professional buzzword, according to LinkedIn. Here is the rest of the list:

2. Organizational
3. Effective
4. Extensive experience
5. Track record
6. Motivated
7. Innovative
8. Problem Solving
9. Communication Skills
10. Dynamic

Nicole Williams, LinkedIn’s connection director suggests banishing buzzwords from your profile. Try to use language that illustrates your unique professional accomplishments and experiences. If you’re sending your resume to Brazil – avoid using the word multinational – that’s the number one buzzword there. In Spain it’s Managerial and in France it’s Dynamic.
