Quick question: if my résumé has stupid, stilted, and pretentious language that nobody would ever use in real life, does that mean that I'm writing it correctly?

I mean shit like "motivated and enterprising political-science student seeking an opportunity to leverage my analytic and critical-thinking skills in a position as a [whatever the fuck I'm applying for] to promote company growth in a dynamic environment?" Do employers like that shit? Because anything that actually makes sense just sounds too casual and lacks the requisite amount of smoke to be blown up employer asses.
