Drop These Words in Your CV

Are you cre­ative, happy and respon­si­ble per­son? Well that’s great! But I am sorry to tell you that won’t help you much in your CV. Why? Because every­one else that writes a CV is also happy, cre­ative and responsible!

Here is a list of the most oft-repeated words that you should avoid (source LinkedIn);

•           Creative
•           Happy
•           Effective
•           Motivated
•           Responsible
•           Structured
•           Analytical
•           Positive
•            Good com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills
•           Ready for new challenges
•           Innovative

The list goes on, but it’s same for all of them. If you use these words you’re only dec­o­rat­ing the cover let­ter. The basic rule is: Every time you use a describ­ing word, you should be able to prove it. Oth­er­wise it’s a waste of time.

Remem­ber, no one needs to know if you are a happy or a pos­i­tive fella. They only want to know why they should hire you.
