“Worn out phrases and longing gazes won’t get you where you want to go, no!” If you’re a Boomer reading this, you’ll probably know who sang those words in the 60’s and 70’s; I just checked with my Millenial offspring and they don’t have a clue. In any event, my client was sharing with me some of his ‘pet peeves’ regarding candidates he interviews. He encouraged me as a career coach to puh-leeze tell job seekers to avoid tired, overworked, and annoying words when discussing their credentials for a job. Do you use any of these words on this list of Buzzwords Gone Bad?

I have to say that the only one that I do still sometimes use is “at the end of the day” actually there are 2 “thinking outside the box” Does this make me a bad person??
