THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN HAVING A JOB IS LOOKING FOR ONE

This week’s career advice for the unemployed comes from an article titled “Words to Leave Off Your Resume” at BlogsTechRepublic.com. First off, avoid all words that make you sound like a teenage girl (even if you are one) including awesome, amazing, phenomenal, cool and spectacular. Second, don’t mention political or religious affiliations by labeling yourself as a Liberal, Conservative, Atheist, Wiccan or whatever. And most important, don’t give your potential new boss any bad news about your health status by avoiding phrases on your resume such as chronically ill, diabetic, or habitually pregnant. And remember, try to pretend that you actually want the stupid job they’re offering you.
