Today I was reviewing a resume for an open position for which I am currently recruiting, and I see the term growth-orientated.
I cringe because to me growth-oriented sounds better and flows more smoothly than growth-orientated. In reviewing this website, I learned that this is more of a preference versus something that is grammatically correct.
So, if you are thinking about sending me your resume, please use growth-oriented. I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, please do not use the word analyzation. I have learned that it is indeed part of the English language, but if you want to sound professional talk about an analytic process versus analyzation.
