1. Your dislikes about your last job,
employer, colleagues, work environment:
You might hate
your last job, your boss, etc.; however, you should let this reflect in your
resume or resume cover letter in any situation. This might lead to the opinion
that you are a pessimistic person, or you do not adapt to situations easily.
2. Irrelevant job experience details:
To make your
resume more effective ‘RELEVANCY’ is utmost important. This is the reason that
you are advised to customize your resume for every job that you apply, such
that no irrelevant data reaches the employer.
3. Sexual Preference:
You still
believe that only men can do certain jobs and women cannot, grow up. Such discrimination and reflecting the same through your resume will pose you as a
person who still discriminates between the gender. Do not underestimate the
other gender by putting forth points that make your application gender
specific. Moreover, if you are a male and the recruiter is a female, she will
definitely not like this discrimination.
4. Religion:
Religion is a
very sensitive topic and thus should be kept away from your resume and your
career. Americans, especially consider it a taboo to speak about the religion
in the resume. At the end your talent matters, and not your religion, so why
speak about it.
5. Pseudo details:
Giving fake
information about work experience or qualifications will not only put you in
trouble for one job, but might hamper your entire career in the long term. If
you are caught faking with such information, the employer’s association might
black list you.

should not do to avoid doing the same. This is not the end. Keep reading to
