Sometimes your best efforts to make friends and influence people can end up losing friends and alienating
valuable colleagues.
Yes, we’re talking jargon: technical terms, obscure acronyms, and slick buzzwords that may seem like they
should promote your professional profile — but which only impress the work experience kid.
Hammering out email after email each day, it’s easy to fall into the jargon trap. Jargon is contagious: it spreads through an office quickly until everyone’s using it. Unfortunately, it then becomes a quick patch to cover shortfalls in an individual or company’s knowledge and capacity for critical thinking.
That’s why Resume.io created the Corporate Jargon Buster – a new, free Chrome extension that helps you
remove unnecessary jargon from your professional emails.
To accompany the tool, the Resume.io team also created an infographic identifying the top 11 corporate jargon phrases to avoid (and what to use instead).
