Linkedin has just published a list of the ten most overused words in resumes with the advice to “scrap the words altogether from…resumes and profiles and instead focus on details of the job (being pursued), like how many people they supervised or how much they increased sales.”

The words and phrases to avoid are: innovative, dynamic, motivated, extensive experience, results-oriented, proven track record, team player, fast paced, problem solver and entrepreneurial.

These words may look good, but “(They) can appear empty to a potential employer and may do more harm than good when you include them in your profile or resumes,” declares Lindsey Pollak, a Linkedin spokeswoman and an author of career books.

Good advice, well worth heeding.

I wish you career success!
