• Professional
• Knowledge
• Leadership

Forbes.com and ZipRecruiter also suggest avoiding these words:

When creating a resume it’s also important to know what to include in it. You should include areas focused on your objective, a summary, your work history, training and references. You should avoid listing your personal interests and hobbies.
