WORDS NOT ADVISABLE TO USE ON YOUR CV
Added on: 10th Feb 2016
STUBBORN
Try resilient instead.
EFFECTIVE
You better be effective.
QUICK LEARNER
Could you please give a quick example?
RESPONSIBLE
Of course you’re responsible. Now prove it by discussing what
you have actually been responsible for.
CAPABLE
As with many of the meaningless adjectives on this list, employers
often see it as meaningless filler. No doubt you’re going to
describe yourself as capable…who wouldn’t?
CREATIVE
It’s not a bad word to have on your CV but avoid using it to
describe yourself. Rather say something like you worked with
creative colleagues.
RESULTS ORIENTED
Another overused phrase. Replace it with a descriptive phrase like
“making sure that the results were met”.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Every human has communication skills and furthermore
you don’t need to mention something that everyone puts
on their CV already.
