I thought this was a joke, but this career strategist must have seen these words in resumés before if she’s cautioning job-seekers not to use them. So, uh, if you were planning on telling a prospective employer you’re “habitually pregnant” or an “awesome Republican” — yeah, don’t do that.

Here are some words not to put on your resumé:

  • Awesome
  • Democrat
  • Chronically ill
  • Habitually pregnant
  • Atheist
