You’re not the only strategic, driven applicant out there. Resume buzzwords to kill...


There’s a good chance the only thing unique about your resume is your name. 

LinkedIn has just revealed the latest list of overused resume buzzwords. If you’d like yours to stand out a bit, It’s a good idea to pull up your resume and check to see if you’re overdoing it with any of these top ten:

* Responsible
* Strategic
* Creative
* Effective
* Patient
* Expert
* Organizational
* Driven
* Innovative
* Analytical

LinkedIn recommends ditching some of those predictable adjectives and skills and replacing them with an actual endorsement or accomplishment. Everyone likes a good story. If you can grab some attention with something about yourself on your resume, that will make a bigger impression than more of the same old words that everyone else is using.
