Don’t let poor words hurt your resume or proposal

I was alerted to this informative article CNN.com - 25 words that hurt your resume - Jan 20, 2006
and thought how good it was.
It is also worth looking at this article in terms of what your write in business proposals etc (I’m in the midst of writing one now).
Certainly the definite is better than the vague - as long as the definite is truthful. Making claims (just because they cannot be easily checked) will come back to haunt you if you cannot achieve outcomes like those ‘other ones’ in either your resume or business proposal.
The other great aspect about the point is the article is that it encourages you to write proactively. Remember, never could, would may…always will, does etc.
If you feel your writing skills are not up to scratch and would like resumes or proposals revied, feel free to contact us.
