-->earlier post. Today we will move on and discuss more on the same.

Resume Mistake

What should not be included in your resume? Continued

6. Do not mention every job you took up:

You might have taken up a job during your college days, worked with some organization to earn extra pocket money, etc. However, you do need to include details of every job in your resume. Include only the jobs that occupy a huge duration of your career.

7. Age:

Believe it or not, some recruiters might discriminate on the age factor while screening resumes. This discrimination is unethical and illegal but it happens under disguise of some other reason. I am sure you do not want to miss out an opportunity, even before you are interviewed for the same. Thus, do not include age in your resume, unless asked for it.

8. Political or Social Identity:

Do not try to boast of your political or social identity. The recruiter might not entertain the same and probably would not want such a famous person to be a part of the organization.

9. False work experience:

Mentioning false work experience is a bigger sin than not having work experience at all. If you do not have work experience, you can at least prove yourself in the interview. However, if you mention false details, then you will be in big trouble, when you are cross-questioned on the same.

10. False Academic details:

False academic details should never be resorted to get a job. Even if you get one, and the employer later comes to know about it, he/she can terminate you without any notice, for providing fake details.
