You want to sound smart and savvy on your resume, and the best way to do that is never use these ten worn-out and cliched phrases. Instead, write a thoughtful, accurate description of your previous employment without using meaningless, hackneyed buzzwords. That's the advice of The Savvy Networker blog, which warns that using the wrong words on your resume could doom it to the bowels of the corporate shredder. The 10 worst canned phrases to use on a resume:

  1. Results-oriented professional
  2. Cross-functional teams
  3. More than [x] years of progressively responsible experience
  4. Superior (or excellent) communication skills
  5. Strong work ethic
  6. Met or exceeded expectations
  7. Proven track record of success
  8. Works well with all levels of staff
  9. Team player
