Effective, detail-orientated, outside-the-box thinker, are just some of the CV or résumé buzzwords we see at Web Direct Studio when aspiring employees send in their calling cards. We reject almost everyone who uses buzzwords like that and a recent
Tech Republic article on why job applicants fail to get an interview shows that we are not the only ones who feel that way.
We know that you want to get the job which is why you sent your CV or résumé in the first place but if you are really looking to catch our attention the last thing you should be using is over-used, clichéd, out-of-the-box ‘buzz words’ which have been overused to the point that they no longer hold any currency to sway our decision.
If anything, the use of clichés and buzz-words shows that you are exactly the kind of person that we do not want. In today’s fast-moving work environment those who simply bring up re-hashed words and serve them up as fresh and original are unlikely to be the creative, reliable, diligent workers we need.
Because we are not the only ones thinking like this and because the fact that you managed to give the wrong impression with your CV or résumé may have more to do with lack of specific CV and résumé writing skills rather than lack of experience or ability in the job you are applying for at Web Direct Studio we have a
CV and résumé writing service where a professional wordsmith, experienced in what recruiters are looking for, will go through your résumé for you re-writing it as necessary in order to create the right tone of competency and experience.
That way you will stand a chance with your future employers and your CV or résumé will not end up in the scrapheap at the early selection stage.
