What Never To Put in Your Resume

Some things you should never put in your CV/Resume:


Titles: Don't write Resume, CV, Curriculum Vitae or Fact sheet as a heading for your CV.


Abbreviations: Everything looks so much more professional if writing in full. The only exceptions for using abbreviations is for educational attainments or postcode. If you do abbreviate then do it throughout the CV - not in just one or two places.


Reason for leaving: Don't say why your are leaving you job - there's really no point - if you do mention it - it could be to your own disadvantage.


References: It is unprofessional to list names of references on a CV, resume or curriculum vitae - if they are going to offer you the job they will ask for references further down the line.


Salaries: Please leave out the salary you are on or what you are expecting to be paid. If your salary is too high or low you won't even get to the interview stage.


Jargon: Don't assume that your prospective employer will understand what you have written. Try and keep it non-technical as much as possible.


Photographs, Age, Religion, Race, Nationality: In the 1950 people used to add a photo to their CV, reume or curriculum vitae - but that day is long gone. Also don't mention your age, religion, race or your nationality.


Exaggerations: Don't exaggerate your education, skills or accomplishments. It could cost you your job if found out that what you told in your CV wasn't true.
