The best advice I ever got about writing a CV is to avoid using adjectives. Instead of saying "good communicator", give an example of good communication. Examples could be pull requests on GitHub, conference talks, a blog post, etc. Or just demonstrate that you're a good communicator by crafting a resume people want to read.


That's writing 101. "Show, don't tell"
