Where possible it's also good to say what the result of that experience was, for example: "Collaborated with clients, A/R and Sales to increase speed of receivables and prevent interruption of service to clients."

...which resulted in a 33% profit increase in the first quarter.

As someone who reviews hundreds of resumes a year, I have to agree with that list in general, although there are times when certain words are fine in context. And the best advice remains to SPELL CHECK!

Absolutely. At the golf course, my boss once trashed a resume because the cover letter was littered with typos, and the applicant allegedly had a college education. I was in hysterics by the time I finished it. I'm not sure about the resume, I'm pretty sure it had its fair share of grammar abuse. ;o)
