個人簡歷濫用詞盤點：有責任心居首

"Responsible", "creative" and "strategic" are just some of Linkedin’s most overused words in users’ profiles – adjectives that the professional networking site says no longer carry any weight to prospective employers.

Culling from a list of words used by its 259million members worldwide, Linkedin discovered that "expert" and "driven" are also among its most popular -- and most nebulous -- words.

The annual list’s top buzzword, "responsible" was used almost twice as much as its number two spot, "strategic."

The social media site, which is used as a professional tool for networking, job search, and recruitment, often provides employers with a first impression of what someone’s work ethics are all about.

For that reason, the site cautions: "Your Linkedin profile is your professional brand, so make it count. Demonstrate your skills and experience by providing examples of your talent rather than using buzzwords." In the case of the word "responsible" Linkedin says that "rather than saying you are responsible for something, demonstrate how that responsibility delivered results."

Linkedin also broke down users’ buzzwords by country and found that "enthusiastic" is only popular in Great Britain, while "passionate" is exclusive to Australia and New Zealand.The U.S. – which accounts for 50per cent of Linkedin’s usership – is the only nation with "patient" in its list of top ten buzzwords.
