One of the biggest changes in the job market is the way your resume goes. A decade ago, it is alright to copy serious, highfalutin, robot-sounding words from Resume Boilerplate. But the copying and clichés has just gotten too much that we often read the same phrases over and over again from different resumes.

Change has really taken its place and dry, clichéd phrases that populate your resume today can label you as an unoriginal copycat with dubious vocabulary. Other than using the same old stiff, lifeless words, why don’t you make your resume sound like human: more compelling and just like the way you are! Delete and replace those corporate, machinated phrases and replace them humane sentences that are more pleasing to the ears.

So what are those phrases we’re talking about? You’ll be surprise to know that the following words are almost everywhere in you and everyone else’s resume.

* Result-oriented professional
* Flexible and can work with minimal supervision
* More than (number of) years of progressively reliable experience
* Superior/excellent communication skills
* Strong work ethic
* Met or exceeded expectations
* Proven track record of success
* Works well with all levels of staff
* Team player
* Bottom-line orientation

You could always do something to improve your resume. Try writing a more human-sounding resume, such as this one:

“I have been working as a pre-school teacher for three years now. Why I teach? Because I believe that I always have a piece of knowledge to can help me hone and improve the youth for the better. At XYZ School, I always see to it that the best of my pupil’s ability are brought about, without neglecting their deficiencies and weaknesses. This is the reason why I was chosen one of the outstanding teachers of our school, which in turn, allows me to keeping going and improving me work. I always keep a space for new information and knowledge. I definitely welcome challenges, as well as opportunities to improve myself. Surely, I can be a great help in attaining your goal in teaching life for the betterment of our youth.”

You don’t have to use hard words just to impress your would-be employers. You’d be better appreciated when you try to show your human side right on your resume.
