We are back with
the ‘Not to Do’ list for your resume. As we discussed earlier, in these series
of blogs we are focusing on what should not be included in one’s resume. We
have discussed ten things that should never be included in your resume. let us
move on and discuss 5 more things for the day.
Info not Include in Resume |
11. Grammatical errors:
If you are not
good at it, accept it. Do not ever send a resume across, with grammatical
errors and spelling errors. It directly creates a negative impression about
your education, communication skills, and also poses you as a lazy person, who
does not bother to read his/her resume before sending it. Do check your resume
for the same, and take some expert opinion, if necessary.
12. Hobbies:
How will the
employer benefit if you are good at cooking or bungee jumping? Then what is the
point in including the same in your resume? If you have any hobbies that relate
to your work or you think would prove beneficial to your work, mention it or
else exclude the same from your resume.
13. Social Security Number:
Give your
personal details like contact number, address, etc., but do not mention your
Social Security Number on the resume. It could reach anyone, and could be
misused.
14. Photograph:
Photographs
should not be included unless asked for. Usually jobs like receptionist, flight
steward, air hostess, etc., focus on physical appearance, and thus one needs to
send a photograph with the resume. Otherwise, do not send it.

15. Physical Characteristics:
Again,
information on physical characteristics like height, weight, biceps, etc., is
used only for jobs like security guards, air hostess, etc. These jobs focus
immensely on physical appearance, and thus these details have to be mentioned
in the resume. In other cases, it does not matter, and thus, should never be
included.
