Ask 10 different people this and you\u2019re likely to get 10 different answers. Here\u2019s our take on what are some of the things you really shouldn\u2019t put in your resume.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It seems unlikely that people do this, but unfortunately it\u2019s quite a common phenomenon. People do try to embellish the truth, particularly when there are important stakes on the line like getting that next dream job in one\u2019s career. That being said, it is precisely because your career is on the line that you should be 100% honest in your resume. What with references, testimonials, and the ubiquitous social media, it has become easier than ever to check whether you are telling the truth. Don\u2019t risk your whole career just for this one moment!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unnecessary Information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some information just isn\u2019t that important to feature on your resume where there is already limited space and you want what is there to shine. Where you went for your primary and secondary school education? Probably not that relevant after you\u2019ve already finished your university degree. However, this should be taken on a case-by-case basis\u2014if you did something truly significant in your years of early education that\u2019s relevant to your job now, you can consider putting it into your resume.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Poor writing and formatting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In your resume, you want to show that you are the best candidate for this position. However, it\u2019s not likely to come across that way if you have frequent spelling and writing errors all over your resume. At the same time, resumes that are difficult to read due to illegible and small fonts, tiny margins, and cramped writing are also not likely to convey that stellar image that you want. It\u2019s worthwhile to take a few moments to really check through what you\u2019ve written and make sure that it\u2019s being conveyed in the best way possible, with no language errors.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Too<\/em>\u00a0Personal Information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While it\u2019s important to be honest on your resume, it sometimes doesn\u2019t pay to be too revealing about personal information such as your height, weight, age, religion, etc. Not only does it take up space on your resume away from what you truly want to show prospective employers\u2014your skills and experiences\u2014but employers might inadvertently make decisions based on these facts. Since you\u2019d want an employer to hire you for what you can bring to the company, keep your resume objectively focused on skills and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth anyone\u2019s while to bring a good, well-written, and concise resume for job applications that really showcase what a great fit they are for the job they\u2019re applying for. When writing your resume, be sure to knock off all those redundancies so that you can really showcase your skills and talents to their best advantage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Not to Include in Your Resume It sounds like an obvious question, but the answers to it are surprisingly varied\u2014what\u00a0shouldn\u2019tyou include in your resume?
