Resume is one of the most important things for the interview. Every candidate should have a great resume because your resume puts your first impression on your interviewer if you have a sound resume then your chances of getting the job could increase. So we have brought some tips about what are the things that you should not include in your CV.
1. Social Insurance Number (SIN):-
Perhaps this is an obvious exclusion, but it does happen. Your SIN is the key to all of your personal information. When sending out your resume you never know who might receive a copy or pick up a discarded copy. Don’t compromise your privacy when applying for jobs.
2. Physical descriptions:-
Your resume isn’t a classified ad. No one reading your CV needs to know what you look like. Your experience should be judged on its own merits. Even if you think you should be a contestant on India’s Next Top Model, your physical appearance is not a working highlight.
3. Never mention your past irrelevant posts:-
Jobs that you held a decade ago or that have no relevance to the position you’re applying for. Very few employers will be motivated to hire you based on reading a description of your high school paper rout
4. Spelling and Grammatical mistakes:-
Probably another obvious point, but it’s truly amazing how many resumes are sent out that clearly haven’t been spell checked. A spelling mistake may take your resume from the top of the pile straight to the trash-can. Make sure you’ve used your spell check and then have a friend or colleague review, just to be certain.
5. References available upon request:-
It’s assumed that you will provide references when a potential employer requests them, so this statement isn’t necessary on your resume.
6. Irrelevant Information:-
Photos of friends and family, irrelevant information such as declarations that should go without saying, like: “I like to work hard, or I like to try to do a good job”. These statements should be evident in your past experience. Your resume should highlight your achievements, so there is no need to blatantly tell someone you work hard and try to do good work.
