It is becoming known that the typical phrases and sentences put down on CVs to promote ones self in terms of skills and ability etc are no longer helping to win over the employer. Describing words and phrases can often be more negative than positive and can hence have the adverse effect to which they were intended.
Many of these phrases can often create a sense of laziness and be unimpressive.
Words like ‘adventurous’ and ‘seeks a challenge’ suggest a candidate gets bored easily and wants to move on for example.
So, try to be unique when writing your CV. Use concise sentences and also make sure your CV is tailored to the job you are going for, not simply produced generally to cover many jobs you may be applying for.
