"You\u2019re applying for jobs in financial services and you\u2019re trying to assemble the perfect resume.The definition of perfection will vary depending upon the job you&amp;rsquo;re applying to: the best r&amp;eacute;sum&amp;eacute;s are usually tailored to particular job descriptions. eFinancialCareers reports that there are also some universal rules of CV writing &amp;ndash; and there are some words that should never, ever, inveigle their way in. When you&amp;rsquo;re writing a CV, professional CV writers strongly advise against adding anything from the following list: 1. &amp;lsquo;Unemployed&amp;rsquo;  On no account should your CV mention the words, &amp;lsquo;unemployed&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;unemployment&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;redundancy,&amp;rsquo; or &amp;lsquo;layoff&amp;rsquo;. They are all too negative. Instead, you should use positive and empowered phrases like, &amp;lsquo;career break,&amp;rsquo; advised Jeremy L&amp;rsquo;Anson, a career coach and author who works with investment bankers. 2. &amp;lsquo;Dynamic&amp;rsquo; Professional r&amp;eacute;sum&amp;eacute; writers warn against using clich&amp;eacute;d words and phrases which appear on almost every CV. 'There are words which are used so much that they&amp;rsquo;re meaningless', said Victoria Maclean at City CV in London. Maclean said these include: &amp;lsquo;dynamic&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;proven track record&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;team player&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;succeed in a fast paced environment&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;innovative.&amp;rsquo; 'You see &amp;lsquo;innovative&amp;rsquo; written on 90 percent of CVs', she added. L&amp;rsquo;Anson warned against saying you&amp;rsquo;re &amp;lsquo;enthusiastic&amp;rsquo; or &amp;lsquo;motivated&amp;rsquo; for the same reason. 'Everyone says they&amp;rsquo;re &amp;lsquo;outstanding&amp;rsquo;', said Linda Jackson co-founder and managing director of London-based career management firm 10Eighty, 'It&amp;rsquo;s a big yawn and is meaningless'. Janet Moran, founder of CV writing company The CV House said recruiters usually hate the word, &amp;lsquo;passion&amp;rsquo; on CVs. Again, it&amp;rsquo;s too overused.
