So true, Lee…It’s all about the “show me, don’t tell me” when it comes to job search! That’s why I love social media — it gives a way to do the showing over a long period of time!

Silverstein’s remarks. Put another way, buzzwords can be described as “soft” skills and are not by themselves concrete enough to indicate how you differentiate yourself from your competition. I believe it is prudent to provide “hard” skills that give specific examples of what you have accomplished that “prove” you are/have these buzzwords in your experiences.

Two words come to mind when I see buzzwords; “prove it.” As long as the writer “proves” they are “innovative”, have “strong communication skills” and “is an effective problem-solver” than buzzwords are fine.
Enjoyed the post.
