Are you a creative, innovative professional?


Save me.

Linked In has rummaged through your resume and made a Top Ten list of buzzwords.
1. Creative
2. Organizational
3. Effective
4. Motivated
5. Extensive expertise
6. Track Record
7. Innovative
8. Responsible
9. Analytical
10. Problem solving
A year ago LinkedIn put together the same sort of list of overused buzzwords. It’s no surprise that eight of the ten terms are the same this year, and “creative” remains at the top of the list. Two terms that are no longer on the list: “communication skills” and “dynamic. But those were replaced by the equally trite “responsible” and “analytical.”

Here's a look at buzzword use by geography.


The word that makes me the most crazy is "professional," as in "unemployed, do as little as possible professional."
