21 words you should trash on your CV

13 February 2017

Global recruitment company Glassdoor has published a list of 21 words and phrases you should never include on your CV if you hope to land a job.

According to Jamie Hichens, Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at Glassdoor it’s vitally important to make a good impression with the language used in your CV as despite automated screening processes, the majority of companies still largely rely on recruiters to read through submitted CVs.

“You have a limited amount of time to catch a recruiter or hiring manager’s eye – use it wisely,” said Hichens.

As a result filling precious resume space with verbose language or overused buzzwords can easily backfire.

Here are the words you should avoid – and why the experts say you should chuck them.
