Resume Tips

Hi guys/gals. I saw this on Yahoo Hotjobs and thought it might be helpful. The author is Liz Ryan. You can use it for personal use or for Ss who are wanting to make a resume. It is also helpful for business Ss. I was really surprised at some of these.
Stodgy boilerplate phrases in your resume today mark you as uncreative and "vocabulary challenged." You can make your resume
more compelling and human-sounding by rooting out and replacing the
boring corporate-speak phrases that litter it, and replacing them with
human language -- things that people like you or I would actually say.Here are the worst 10 boilerplate phrases -- the ones to seek out and destroy in your resume as soon as possible: - Results-oriented professional
- Cross-functional teams
- More than [x] years of progressively responsible experience
- Superior (or excellent) communication skills
- Strong work ethic
- Met or exceeded expectations
- Proven track record of success
- Works well with all levels of staff
- Team player
- Bottom-line orientation
