2. Organizational
3. Effective
4. Extensive experience
5. Track record
6. Motivated
7. Innovative
8. Problem solving
9. Communication skills
10. Dynamic
LinkedIn also sorted the top buzzwords by country.

In some other countries, the No. 1 buzzwords were:
France: Dynamic

LinkedIn’s connection director Nicole Williams used this list as an excuse to remind members to steer clear of clichés.
“Even though this year’s list of overused terms differs from last year’s, your objectives remain the same: Banish buzzwords from your profile,” Williams was quoted in a press release. “Use language that illustrates your unique professional accomplishments and experiences. Give concrete examples of results you’ve achieved whenever possible and reference attributes that are specific to you.”
