The Power of A Single Word On Friday, I got two snippets of data that I would not typically set up into one blog, however they agreed too well to even consider resisting: 1. One of my customers, closely following a meeting, kept in touch with me enthusiastically that the questioner adored her resume-particularly the word â€Å"unstoppable† in her rundown segment.

You may see that â€Å"unstoppable†-the word that so dazzled my client’s questioner isn't on the rundown of LinkedIn popular expressions.

I’m not pushing that you utilize the word â€Å"unstoppable† in your resume or LinkedIn profile, except if it is the most flawlessly awesome modifier to depict you.

On an individual note, I should concede I’m disheartened to see the word Expert on the popular expressions list, given that the word is for the sake of my organization. Be that as it may, that is something I’ll need to live with.
