Some CVs include unnecessary stuff such as hardworking, loyal, dedicated, etc. What do you say?

When reading CVs, employers find a lot of unnecessary descriptions and phrases. CVs would be much better without them. Do you have examples of such unnecessay stuff ? What is your opinion?

Very interesting question as many of us may think of it “A piece of cake”.

 

Resume layout is very important in addition to the wordings being used however I strongly believe that it’s the personal profile where one can use words such as hardworking, loyal, etc.

 

Idea is to grab reader’s attention as soon as they start reading your resume. You only can attempt once for your ideal job hence want to do the best to get across what’s most important. As a result, you would focus on most important qualities, achievements and abilities you bring to the job.

 

Keep in mind direct correlation between personal attributes and experience is vital.

Frankly speaking,i didn't value them, actually  the applicant, most of the time use such traits for making them appeal. In reality, things are quite different and sometime difficult. I firmly believe in one-to-one metting and then performance will prove that either we were hard worker or only Hard for other......

I agree with you BUT only from your point of veiw , meaning that every one when write his / her C.V. of course do the best after asking the expert around him / her by sequence may be it includes some mistakes , thats why i think we are all here to share our experience and our point of veiw to help each other and our friends and friends of our friends and so .....

well, it think the one who apply for the job thinks how he want to show his abilites and interestes he just want to let you know he has many qualification to improve and benefit and get benefit with his qualification maybe he can get use of them in his work
