From The LinkedIn Blog: what buzzwords should you stop using

Media_httpbloglinkedi_dgbim

Looking at the average Belgian resume I'm reading these days, toppers here might be: 'team player'; while of course you 'can work autonomous', and we're all very 'result and / or target oriented'. And 'flexible'. While keeping the 'helicopter view'.

Ah, and while we're on it. If you ever drop by in one of my interviews, plz don't bother telling me spontaneously that you're 'stubborn'. No I will not ask you 5 positive & 5 negative personality traits, so it doesn't make sense. You knew anyway that this question was coming, so you found that one trait which is as such negative, but oh so easy to turn in something positive.

Neither should you try to explain that you love 'reading' so much. Or if you do, plz try to remember at least one title of a book you recently read. Failing to do so really looks weird you know.

Helpful could be to read the job description of the job you're applying for. Also, well, we do have a website, so really, it does make sense checking out what markets we're active in. Or what products we sell. Or produce. Or whatever.
