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。

在一項關于招聘人員最不喜歡的字眼的調查中，“motivated(積極性高的)”、“creative(有創造力的)”、“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'。

該研究由職業社交網站LinkedIn發布。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(發憤圖強的)”、“extensive experience(經驗豐富)”、“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。

該網站發言人達瑞因?法拉茲表示：“在履歷里體現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形象。” '
