WORDS NOT TO USE ON YOUR CV
Added on: 9th Nov 2015
NINJA (PROGRAMMING NINJA, MANAGEMENT NINJA, ETC)
It used to be cute, it’s not anymore.
ROCK STAR
DYNAMIC
Typically when people use this it doesn’t mean anything.
It’s just filler that sounds good.
EXPERIENCED
You should let your resume do the talking
GURU
It’s in the same boat as ninja and rock star.
TRY
There is no try. Only do.
PROBLEM SOLVER
Don’t just say you solve problems. Rather, state how
you solve problems?
GOAL ORIENTED
So you’re doing better than the average high school student.
Be more specific.
SELF STARTER
Like some other words on this list, this is way too overused.
