LinkedIn Bio Cliches

“Take a look at the top 10 list of overused buzzwords and you’ll find a littany of unspecific, generic phrases that people love to use.”

I’ll bet these match the cliches in the job ads too!

    The list is missing two other words I detest: “webinar” and “repurpose”.

    These words are taken out of context though. It’s one thing to claim “I am an innovative team player with extensive experience and a proven track record in fast-paced dynamic environments.” but not everyone’s profile puts the words together in such a way.

    Hmm. I don’t believe I have even one of these terms in my profile.

    Benny: Probably. However a search on that sentence in Google.ca generates 211,000 hits. They’re not all identical but it does verge on cliche.
