The most common mistake made by people trying to start their CVs first is that they put in a lot of information. They want everything to describe what they have done ever since the moment of conception to the present day. Resume ends up being a long time, and no one will read it.
The most important piece of information that you need to remember that your resume, no matter how, will review the 15 to 30 seconds by the person who made the initial screening.
This person is usually someone in human resources mission is to look at hundreds of resumes per day. You must create your resume in such a way that gives all the information they need in a maximum period of 30 seconds.
There is information that in most cases, should not be in the resume. Include:
• your age or date of birth
• religious affiliations or political
• Reasons Why leave your last job
• Social Security number of your
• Restrictions health or physical limitations
• Any sentence that has "no", "no" or "no"
Age or Date of Birth
I repeat, you should not put your age or date of birth in the resume. United States of America, the employer has no right to know your age. An employer can ask you only if you have more than 18 years for reasons of liability insurance or local law, state and federal, or require employees to be more than a certain age.
Therefore, if you are concerned that your age factor, do not enter history, who graduated from high school or received a year in which your score. I received my degree in 1962. I guess who you are?
Religious affiliations or political affiliations
It is generally accepted that you stay away from the inclusion of a particular religion or belonging to a political party. However, it can be active in your community or church sometimes be a positive factor in many large companies, so you must make public statements about your participation in activities that support the community. And volunteer work for a charity to be a positive example but active support for the environmental group could raise some eyebrows.
Reasons for leaving previous jobs
It has become our now considered mobile community and longevity in the position for two years. People accept new jobs for many reasons. If you leave your last job because of differences with your supervisor or the company's philosophy, and I recommend putting this information in your resume. You will probably get a negative impression about you the reader. If were not been able to agree with your last, and probably will not agree here.
If a job application asks you to give reasons for leaving your last job, you can answer an honest and be safe provided you better. "Best" may mean wage increases and better working hours, better office environment, or later.
No. Your Social Security (SSN)
The main exceptions to this rule sent to the sites of the Federal Public Service. Potential employer may ask you social security number in the application - this is usually the case of jobs. However, you can put your SSN to resume lead to disaster.
CV will send many, you will not know who will read them. It does not cost a lot of money to put a small ad in a newspaper or on the job site on the Internet, and a person can run a dishonest fraud Declaration.
If someone knows your SSN, he can apply for credit cards or other important documents, such as maps of the SSN with repetition in the information provided by the usually resume. Be alert if someone else is asking for the public your SSN.
Information about health and disability
Was changed Americans with Disabilities Act companies in the way the United States and recruitment hiring employees. Generally, has no employer has the right to know your health. Health issues only that the employer can ask is a function related.
If the job description requires that the lifting of 50 kg, and the employer legal and legitimate to ask in the interview if you can. May also say the requirement in the announcement. Can not ask you if you have back problems, diabetes or who have a heart attack unless the job, such as pilot, requires perfect health.
Know your rights if you are outside the United States.
Marital status
I added marital status because this is another problem that can turn against you, especially if you're a parent. I know some people will disagree, but parents and one that has the highest rate of absentees in the labor market.
And companies in an attempt to avoid hiring a single parent if possible. However, the United States, they can not ask you and your family situation or if you have children. Do not volunteer this information on a resume.
If asked this question in an interview, the correct answer is: "Can you tell me what this has to do with the situation I ask," This must end the questioning in this case if the interview does not want to face trial.
