Pull up your resume. Now delete these words.


There’s a new list of words to take OFF of your resume...

The University of Michigan Career Center analyzed some verbs that hiring managers like - and some they don’t. Here are a few that turn them off:


* Try
* Love
* Seasoned
* Experienced
* Creative
* Innovate


Those words are considered either weak or overused. You’re better off working some of these action words into your accomplishments:

* Advised
* Compiled
* Critiqued
* Coached
* Designed
* Directed
* Established
* Generated
* Illustrated
* Negotiated
* Resolved
* Upgraded
