They may be some of the most heavily-used terms by desperate hopefuls on The Apprentice, but new research suggests business buzzwords are actually a turn-off to potential employers.

有些詞你總能從求職真人秀節(jié)目《飛黃騰達》（The Apprentice）中那些急切的候選者口中聽到，但新研究表明，這種商業(yè)流行詞事實上會讓雇主對你失去興趣。

Words including 'motivated', 'creative', 'enthusiastic' and 'passionate' came top of a poll for least liked words among recruiters.

在一項關(guān)于招聘人員最不喜歡的字眼的調(diào)查中，“motivated（積極性高的）”、“creative（有創(chuàng)造力的）”、“enthusiastic（熱心的）”和“passionate（有激情的）”名列前茅。

The adjectives are so overused they have lost their meaning to employers, who are instead looking for applicants to describe themselves in more original ways.

這些形容詞人們用得太多，對雇主而言已經(jīng)失去了意義，他們更希望聽到求職者用更加有新意的詞匯描述自己。

The findings were released by professional social network LinkedIn. According to the website, the top five most overused words are 'motivated', 'creative', 'enthusiastic', 'passionate' and 'track record'.

該研究由職業(yè)社交網(wǎng)站LinkedIn發(fā)布。LinkedIn指出，濫用程度排名前五的詞是“motivated”、“creative”、“enthusiastic”和“passionate”和“track record（成就記錄）”。

These were followed by 'driven', 'extensive experience', 'wide range', 'responsible' and 'strategic'.

緊隨其后的是“driven（發(fā)憤圖強的）”、“extensive experience（經(jīng)驗豐富）”、“wide range（廣泛）”、“responsible（有責任心的）”和“strategic（深謀遠慮的）”。

The website's spokesman Darain Faraz said: 'It's really important that people are authentic on their profiles but you can help yourself – and boost your professional brand - by painting a more colourful picture and steering clear of the most predictable buzzwords.

該網(wǎng)站發(fā)言人達瑞因?法拉茲表示：“在履歷里體現(xiàn)出真實的自己很重要，使用更生動具體的描述、避開常見的流行詞可以幫到你，這還能提升你自身的專業(yè)形象。” '

With people taking more interest in their careers in January, it's never been more challenging to stand out from the crowd. Show individuality by including charity work and interests.'

“一月是找工作的旺季，求職者想要脫穎而出變得更富挑戰(zhàn)性。可以嘗試通過你做過的慈善工作和興趣愛好展示出個性。”
