I thought this was really interesting and good info. I am not afraid to admit I had more than one of these points on my resume!

Strong work ethic is always overused in my opinion.

Great article! Using the information will do two things, shoe potential employers you can think, and that most people have experience that doesn't fit into a box. Thank God boilerplate is becoming extinct. It will make choosing people easier rather than harder. They'll see through the B.S., hopefully.

Agreed. It's a good rule of thumb to craft your resume for the specific position you are applying for. Writing fresh, relevant cover letters goes without saying.

And don't include things you aren't willing to do, like relocate or put in extra hours etc. stick to what you include on your resume and be prepared to back it up.
