The Structure of a Resume - What Not to Include
Here are some items that are better left off your r茅sum茅:
- Personal information-Your personal information is private: Date of birth, Social Security聽number, height, weight, health, marital status, religious affiliation, children, sex, national origin, race or ethnicity.
- Photographs on r茅sum茅s are not acceptable in the U.S. This is not true in all other countries, so before applying overseas check on their standard r茅sum茅 format and expectations.
- Hobbies aren't necessary unless they're relevant to the job or reflect your skills or accomplishments.
- Old information. 聽Interviewers have a tendency to play down r茅sum茅 information that is more than 10 years old.
However, do include any information relevant to the job for which you are applying, as long as the skills (particularly in instrumentation) are not outdated. Some experts advise older job seekers to omit some jobs and focus on the most recent and relevant ones to avoid drawing attention to their age.
