Whatphrases shouldI NOT use inmy resume?
Over the years, some words and phrases became so overused—both by employers and job seekers—they lost their meaning. These words have been long booted out of professional jargon. If you don’t want your resume to end up at the bottom of the pile, avoid using them at all costs! These cliché buzzwords don’t tell the hiring manager any-thing about you. It’s always much better to be clumsily yourself, than being a graceful cliché.
improve how a human reader will see it, but also help your resume get through an automated ATS (Applicant Tracker System).
Some larger companies like to use an ATS to filter resumes re-ceived by their HR department. These systems scan each resume and if it doesn’t contain the required keywords, they discard it automatically.
