9 Details Never to Put in Your Resume
\n
<\/h1>\n<\/h2>\n

After proofreading to check misspellings or grammatical errors on your resume, look for these nine details to further polish it.<\/p>\n

1. Hobbies<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n

You may think that listing down hobbies will show that you have a well-rounded personality. Think again. Knowing what you do in your spare time is not the priority of the hiring manager.<\/p>\n

2. Objective<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one of those outdated details you don\u2019t need to include. Applicants used to write: \u201cSeeking to find a job in (specific industry) to leverage my skills\u201d<\/em>. It seems obvious, don\u2019t you think? Employers know that it is your goal because you\u2019re applying for the job. Write a professional summary instead. These are three to five sentences that summarize your strengths and core competencies (read 5 last minute resume checks<\/a> for examples).<\/p>\n

3. Personal pronouns (I, me or my)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is understood that everything in your resume is about you. So instead of using personal pronouns, begin with strong verbs instead. Examples are: Created, analyzed, or managed (for past work experience).<\/p>\n

4. Irrelevant experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

To help the recruiter focus on your most significant skills and experiences, don\u2019t mention previous jobs that are not related. For example, if you\u2019re applying for a teaching job, don\u2019t include that you had a short stint as a lifeguard unless you can describe it in such a way that the skills you learned helped you become a better educator. Including non-related jobs can also seem like you are padding your resume because you lack enough work experience.<\/p>\n

5. Images or graphics<\/strong><\/p>\n

In some countries, including your most recent photo is the norm. In Canada, don\u2019t include a photo of yourself unless you\u2019re applying for an acting or modelling job. Icons, border designs, or logos can also be distracting. However, a decorative resume may be acceptable for those in the creative industry. But for most industries, it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

6. Professional contact information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t include the phone number or address of your current job. It\u2019s highly unprofessional. You wouldn\u2019t want your current employer knowing that you are scouting for a new job.<\/p>\n

7. Overused buzzwords<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using words like people-pleaser<\/em>, go-getter<\/em>, synergy<\/em>, think outside the box <\/em>can mark you as insincere. Many recruiters are annoyed by these terms because they are used very often. Instead, use simple, descriptive words and go straight to the point.<\/p>\n

8. Present tense for a past job<\/strong><\/p>\n

Check your verb tenses. Always use past tense for past jobs and use the present tense only when describing your current responsibilities (if you are currently employed).<\/p>\n

9. Unnecessary words<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t put the word Resume<\/em> on top of the page. You also don\u2019t need to label your address, phone and email \u2013 these are recognizable by themselves. Don\u2019t write references available upon request<\/em> because it\u2019s understood that you will provide them when asked. Deleting these will free up space and make your resume look fresh and uncluttered.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve checked your resume for these nine details, you will see that it is now more focused and clear. With your relevant achievements in the forefront, the hiring manager will be able to see clearly that your skills and talents are a perfect match for the position. Good job!<\/p>\n
