"Responsible", "creative" and "strategic" are just some of Linkedin’s most overused words in users’ profiles – adjectives that the professional networking site says no longer carry any weight to prospective employers.
據職業社交網站Linkedin統計，“有責任心”“有創造力”和“有策略”在網站使用者的個人簡介中使用最為廣泛，但可能對潛在的僱主毫無說服力。
Culling from a list of words used by its 259million members worldwide, Linkedin discovered that "expert" and "driven" are also among its most popular -- and most nebulous -- words.
基於Linkedin對全球2.5億使用者的詞語使用調查，“經驗豐富”和“奮發圖強”也位列詞語濫用榜單。
The annual list’s top buzzword, "responsible" was used almost twice as much as its number two spot, "strategic."
在今年的年度熱詞排行中，位於榜首的“有責任心”的使用量幾乎是第二名詞語“有策略”的兩倍之多。
The social media site, which is used as a professional tool for networking, job search, and recruitment, often provides employers with a first impression of what someone’s work ethics are all about.
Linkedin是一個以保持社會關係、求職和找工作為目的`的職業社交網站。公司通常會通過網站上的個人簡介對求職者的職業素養留下第一印象。
For that reason, the site cautions: "Your Linkedin profile is your professional brand, so make it count. Demonstrate your skills and experience by providing examples of your talent rather than using buzzwords." In the case of the word "responsible" Linkedin says that "rather than saying you are responsible for something, demonstrate how that responsibility delivered results."
正因如此，網站告誡大眾：“你在Linkedin上的個人簡介同時也是你的一張個人名片，所以不要做無用功。你應該用一些具體的例子來證明你的能力，而不是一味地使用一些形容詞。” 以詞語“有責任心”為例，網站指出：“不要陳述你對哪一件事情很負責，而是要設法向僱主證明你的責任感帶來了哪些工作成果。”
Linkedin also broke down users’ buzzwords by country and found that "enthusiastic" is only popular in Great Britain, while "passionate" is exclusive to Australia and New U.S. – which accounts for 50per cent of Linkedin’s usership – is the only nation with "patient" in its list of top ten buzzwords.
除此之外，Linkedin也按地域對使用者使用的詞語進行了分類。有意思的是，“充滿熱情”只在英國比較流行，而“激情四射”受到了奧地利及紐西蘭使用者的青睞。同時，佔據Linkedin使用者一半以上的美國是唯一一個“有耐心”在十大熱詞排行榜中上榜的國家。
