Cliches

I just read an interesting article on cliches. Bottom line was "do not use them". How many of us are "multi-tasking", or "excellent communicators", or "team player". It is more important for us to depict HOW we feel about these terms. We want the resume to stand out amongst our peers. Let them use the cliches. We need to provide both action terms and quantitative information. We need to ensure that the resume is unique. Your summary needs to have unique key words. PLEASE omit the phrase "responsible for" as it "smacks" of a cut and paste job from a job description (and what recruiter has never seen a job description??). Questions?
