When new immigrants come to Australia to increase their chances of being hired by employers, pay attention to your words when writing your resume and avoid such as "the best person (Best of breed)." Employers such as "Go-getter" and "do not follow the (Think outside of the box)" often use words such as "improve (Improved)" and "manage (Managed)". CareerBuilder's survey of 2201 HR managers and HR professionals in various industries and companies of all sizes found that 68 percent of HR managers spent less than two minutes looking at a resume. Another 17% spent less than 30 seconds sweeping an application. In order to capture their attention in such a short period of time, the nuances of the candidate's use of words can lead to very different results. According to the survey, personnel managers interviewed said they preferred some words when assessing how a resume was written, while others closed the door to opportunities immediately. Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder, points out that HR managers prefer words that clearly indicate specific experiences, skills and achievements. Subjective and overused words are often regarded as negative because they do not show specific information. For example, don't say that you're a 'result-oriented (results driven)' person, but show your employer the real results.
