Terminology is more than just words

. RSS

When I wrote the book “Terminology is More than Just Words”, I was influenced by my experiences working one-on-one with individuals looking for help finding a job and making a career change. I worked with over 1000 individuals to help them bring their LinkedIn profiles together in the best way to show who they were and what they had accomplished in their careers. This also led to working with them to learn how to use the profile to create a resume that would best match a job posting they were interested in.

This often meant reviewing the posting for keywords that defined what was wanted. For example, if a job posting for a marketing manager role emphasizes 'digital marketing' and 'SEO ', these are the keywords the candidate should focus on. Ensuring that the resume uses the right words for the posting is crucial, as it increases the chances of the resume being noticed by the recruiter.

When a candidate worked at the same company for several years, the titles used for their job often needed to be updated, especially in their overall industry segment. Even the duties and responsibilities required for a specific job frequently use different terminology to define the areas of duties and responsibilities…

The power of clear thinking cannot be overstated. It's not just about using the right words-it's about shaping your thought process. When you can think logically and organize your ideas, you're not just communicating effectively-you're demonstrating your ability to break down complex concepts, identify cause-and-effect relationships, and make informed decisions. This is the kind of thinking that can transform your career.

Correct Terminology and Words are Required to Ensure Clear Thinking

Thinking Clearly Requires Using Correct Terminology and Words

A word is a complete, meaningful element of language. A term is a more specific definition of a word, tailored to a particular context or situation.

The use of accurate words and precise terminology shapes not only communication but also thought itself. Clear thinking depends on language that is logical, organized, and accurate. It means breaking down complex ideas into simpler components, recognizing cause-and-effect relationships, and forming judgments based on evidence and sound reasoning.

When our words are exact, our thinking sharpens. Precise language supports problem-solving, decision-making, and effective communication. It allows us to express ideas with clarity and coherence, fostering stronger understanding and collaboration.
