experience.

I concur with this. I think that the most common example of this is the self-serving "Objective" statement. Everybody knows that you want a "fulfilling job with a growing company," so I recommend leaving the "Objective" statement out. Instead, write a "Summary of Qualifications" that provides an overview of what you uniquely offer to the company.
