  Oh no! As a student who's about to graduate (and sending a few cover letters and CVs), I thought those were good words to use!
  
  Although I suppose the point of the article is to make sure you provide concrete examples when using these buzzwords since everybody these days is a "creative, ambitious, efficient, innovative, hard-working team player"! :)

  While I do appreciate the advice and even agree with the article you reference, you must see the humor in this advice when you compare this MSN Careers article with the job postings on the Microsoft.com/Careers site. A lot of the words we are supposed to avoid in our resumes' are the same words contained in the Microsoft job postings.
