The most common mistake made by people trying to collect their resume first is that they put in a lot of information. They want to describe what they did than ever from the moment of conception to the moment. CV ends up being a long time, and nobody will read.
Most important piece of information to remember is that your resume, regardless of the well and put them together, you'll only get a 15-30 second examination by the person required initial screening.
This person is usually someone in human resources and his work is to review hundreds of resumes a day. You must create your resume in such a way that gives all the information they need within a maximum of 30 seconds.
There is information that, in most cases, should not be in the resume. This includes:
• Your age or date of birth
• religious or political affiliation
• The reasons why you left your last job
• Your social security number
• Restrictions on the health or physical limitations
• Any sentence that has been "No", "can not" or "impossible"
Age or date of birth
Again, you should not put your age or date of birth on your CV. In the U.S., and the employer has no right to see your age. An employer can ask you if you are aged over 18 years for reasons of liability insurance or the requirement of local law, whether state or federal employees at a certain age.
So if you think your age is a factor, does not mention the date graduated from high school or in the years that I have received all of your score. I received my undergraduate degree in 1962. Perhaps any of you I guess?
Religious affiliations or political affiliations
Is generally recommended that you stay away from the story of a particular type of religion or political affiliation of the party. However, it can be active in your community or your church can sometimes be a positive factor in many large companies, so you need to make general statements about your participation in activities that support the community. And volunteering for a charity should be a positive example, but the active support of the environmental group could raise some questions.
Reasons for leaving previous jobs
It has become our society is now mobile and longevity in a position two years. People accept new jobs for many reasons. If you leave your last job because of disagreements with the supervisor or the company philosophy, and I do not recommend putting this information in your resume. The reader may find it having a negative impression of you. If you can not get side by side with the latter company, and probably will not agree here.
If a job application asks you to give reasons for leaving your last job, he can hear and honest answer is that, given you a better job. The "best" could mean higher wages, better working hours, and improve the office environment, or the art equipment.
Your social security number (SSN)
Exceptions are federal appeals sent for jobs in the public service. A potential employer request a Social Security number in your application - this is generally a condition of employment. However, you can put your SSN on a resume to advance the disaster.
You will be sending many CVs, and will not know who read them. It does not cost a lot of money wants to put an ad in newspapers or on Internet job site, and the person can run a fraudulent false advertising.
If someone knows your SSN, they can obtain credit cards or other important documents, such as duplicate SSN cards, with information provided by, most often in your resume. Be alerted if someone other than the public by requiring your SSN.
Health Information and disability
Has been changed Americans with Disabilities Act in companies currently in the U.S. in recruiting and hiring employees. Generally, the employer has no right to know and your health. The only questions related to health may ask the employer is a related function.
If the job description requires the removal of 50 €, the employer the legal right and legitimate to ask in the interview if you can. It could be argued also that the requirement contained in the Declaration of him. Can not ask you if you have back problems, diabetes, or had suffered a heart attack if the function as an airline pilot, and requires perfect health.
Know your legal rights if you live outside the United States.
Vital
I added the social situation, because it's the other problem that can turn against you, especially if you are a parent of one. I know some people will disagree, but parents and was a higher rate of absenteeism in the workforce.
And businesses in an attempt to avoid contracting with a single parent, if possible. However, the U.S. can not ask you and your family situation or if you have children. Not volunteer this information on your resume.
If you ask this question in an interview, it may be the appropriate response, "Can you tell me what this has to do with the position I apply?" It should end up questioning in this case, if the interviewer does not want to face a trial.
