Ok, so here's a perfect example. The resume service I got was super fast, I received my first draft a day after I sent them my info. Overall I am happy with it, it's not far off from my own original with a similar look but maybe a little more professional and organized, i.e. not overdone or uber-flashy. Like a nice upgrade. However, one of the additions they made to one of my job descriptions is: "responsible for the management of safe, dependable, and efficient operation of the aircraft, while promoting an effective and inclusive team environment." I mean, it's not untrue but this is pretty inherent in any pilot job and to me sounds like trying to fluff it up, which I am not crazy about. I will probably have them delete it. I think the job speaks for itself and doesn't need to be fluffed.

I'm curious if any racist, non inclusive, or unsafe people have stated as much on their resumes???

Weaselistic hyperbole: the art of saying much without actually saying anything at all.
For example, "responsible for the management of safe, dependable, and efficient operation of the aircraft, while promoting an effective and inclusive team environment."
