There are no hard and fast rules on what not to put in a Resumé, it is personal
preference. However, you don`t want to make your Resumé drag on and there is
no point in putting any information that is irrelevant to the job. Here
are a few tips on what not to put in your Resumé
Age, height, weight, marital status are not pertinent to the hiring process
(unless you're applying to be a model).
Photos - the only people who need to include these are models, actors, actresses
and possibly air cabin crew.
Salary details. An employer will always offer the minimum that they can
get away with.
Any sort of failure - exams, marriages, businesses, etc.
Fancy binders, several colours, complicated graphics.
Negative descriptions, problems or gaps in work history which would cause
the reader to have doubts about you. That is not to say you should lie,
however it is far easier to discuss these issues in greater detail at an
interview.
Reasons for leaving each job.
Do not use poor quality photocopies of your Resumé - they make it look as though
you are sending off your Resumé to lots of companies and that you may not be
too bothered who you work for.
Don`t list more than 3 referees - no relatives.
Good luck with any future employment
