A few more words I'd generally advise against in applications:


'lateral thinking'

'symbiosis'

'stimulated'

'dynamic'


I find candidates sometimes use these words because they're shortcuts to explaining what you mean/why you like something.


I'd also avoid using too many complex words in a sentence e.g. 'seamless, multi-faceted transactions'.


Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
