Biz Tip of the Day: “Myriad Solutions:” Don't say you offer myriad solutions or anything else – spell them out. Before I was twenty I used the phrase, “myriad jobs,' in my first big job interview to describe my duties at a previous job. The manager interviewing me asked, “What are myriad jobs, and can you spell myriad, and do you know what it means? (At that tender age, what I probably meant to say was “Oh, I did a lot of stuff,” also not a good choice of words). It did create a bump in the interview, but luckily I could spell myriad, and knew its definition, without being a smart alack, so I was hired into what became the life-long career I had dreamed about.
'We offer myriad solutions, plans, etc.' is not good for a company to use, either, even though some may provide many. Please, spell out what it is you offer in a list of categories, along with descriptions. Tell me how you will solve my problems, too. 'Myriad Solutions' has become a meaningless buzzword slogan in the business world.
