8 Words To Never Use On A Resume

Good advice, those are words to avoid. Also avoid proverbs e.g. 'rome wasn't built in a day' or 'teach an old dog, new tricks'.

Writing a resume can be tricky, getting the right balance between design, layout and content and trying to stand out from the 500 other applicants isn't easy, which is why I used a resume improvement service recently. The resume came back much improved, both content and layout, and I had a job within 2 weeks. Can't argue with that can I? :D

Try one out if you're struggling.

Good luck.

P.S.
The guys I used were http://tiny.cc/cvimprovement but there are many on google.

Gifted - lol :))
But seriously, it is not that difficult to write an excellent resume nowadays. Just look around the net. It is full of good advice (e.g. http://moneyland.time.com/2012/04/13/how-to-make-your-resume-last-longer-than-6-seconds/ or exactly this one you have just read) you should only follow them and you are there.

I liked the old day,s when you could go into Personel with your resume and even if there was others looking
the Manager could tell what kind of a person you were. I would say i worked at so and so and i show up on time don't mind overtime if you need me i do not need to be told a 100 times to do some thing i don't stand around with my hands in my pockets and i get along good with other people and you had an 85% chance of being hirered and if not keep calling mabee that person did'nt work out and he will hire you ! BRILLANT

lol Do people really use those words? No wonder they're still looking.

Apparently AOL doesn't really take these comments seriously or else they would've realized by now that every second article they make is pointless and wastes 2 minutes of our lives in reading it. This article...surprise!...is one of them! I think 98% of us know how to write a resume without looking like a fool.

Wow. Junk food for the mind.

If I had read a resume with a grammatical error in the second sentence, it would go into the trash. I'd read no more.
"You are a professional who uses their smarts to get results. A professional - their smarts???
Ever hear of agreement in number.???

Even if the grammar were correct, what king of a professional would write " I got smarts"
