Opinions Of Your Skills Don’t Belong On LinkedIn
The 10 most overused words on LinkedIn are subjective. Meaning that if you use them, you are stating an opinion of yourself. Take a look:
- Specialize
- Experienced
- Skilled
- Leadership
- Passionate
- Expert
- Motivated
- Creative
- Strategic
- Focused
The problem with using these words is that, while you think it’s okay to talk about yourself in this way, the reader of your profile (maybe a recruiter or hiring manager) gets the mistaken impression that you think you are “all that and a bag of chips.”
