Caitlin Carruthers commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'"The phrase I really hate seeing is 'Able to work autonomously or in a team.' At the start of my recruitment career, it was in at least 95% of the resumes I read and it has always driven me crazy!"
Tiffany Branch commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'"Overall as recruiters, I think we know when to pass a resume by and when not to. There will ALWAYS be exceptions. If I passed on every resume that had "Team Player" I'd have very few candidates. LOL I lways try to remember that what…"
Tiffany Branch commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'"Good artile. I disagree with "assisted." If you are a Recruiting Coordinator, you did provide "assistance" to the recruitment team. I don't see that as a bad word. The applicant could be in an entry-level role, or working on…"
Sam Evans commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'"Honestly, this is a silly article. It's just being downright pedantic and if I was about to reject someone for a single word they used on their CV, I would be terrible at my job. We are here to review people's entire skillset. This…"
Nigel Coxon commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'"Someone once told me that if you'd never consider including the exact opposite of what you typed, don't bother using it.
Example "hard working". You'd never think to describe yourself as "bone idle" in a cv, so why…"

Allen commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'"Agreed with Amber! Implementation is a key part of rolling out a newly developed business product or program. It is an industry term and is a regular term in MBA and related studies. Can you think of better term(s) to describe implement?"
Valentino Martinez commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'"Advice should given with a WARNING that if taken and acted on it could be hazardous to your career, health, taste, vision, sphincter--or all the above.

Bill Schultz commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'"Guess I'd better change my Career Summary:
Over approximately last 5 years, I have assisted and attempted to implement professional policy. Hopefully I've been a team player. "
Christopher Lyon commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'"I have to agree with the font statement John. People really need to put the resume in New Times Roman font 11. They also need to make sure dates are correct and bullet points instead of paragraphs are on the resume. It gets really frustrating when I…"

Author: Franco Fernando at TheSavvyIntern.Coy looks. Stolen glances. Awkward conversation.
If you’re lucky… undeniable chemistry.
We’ve all been on that first date. And we all experience the same feelings: excitement, anticipation, hope and sometimes disappointment.
