7 Things Which Should Not Be On Your Resume

www.aasaanjobs.com

Salary History

You should never mention how much your salary was in the previous organizations

You should show the value of your previous job and the skills you acquired which is relevant for the current job post

If you are so concerned about your salary, talk to the interviewer or the HR directly and discuss it

Hobbies And Interests

Don’t mix your hobbies with your interests

Hobby is an activity done regularly in your free time

Feeling of wanting to know or learn about something or someone is your interest

Don’t put hobbies like playing football or dancing

Think whether your hobby will help in your job, you’ll get the answer

Crazy Fonts And Colours

Use fonts which are easy to read and won’t confuse the Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

If you are applying for a creative job, showcase your design skills on your portfolio rather than on your resume

For the headlines you can use another font

Your resume should not have more than one or two fonts

Multiple Phone Numbers

The more phone numbers you add to your resume the lesser chances you have of getting shortlisted for the interview

Be clear about your contact details by providing only one phone number

Too Much Of The Past

Recruiters are interested in your most recent experience and how it relates to the job which you are applying for

If you are a fresher with no job experience then you need to focus on your achievements in college

Remove the dates from your degree, certifications or awards which fall outside the 15 years window

Irrelevant Information

Including your religious preference, or social security numbers (Passport or PAN card number) in your resume is irrelevant to get a job

This might have been the standard in the past, but all of this information is actually not required

Flashy Pictures

If you want to put your photograph on your CV, it should be decent, unlike your facebook profile pictures

Don’t ruin your impression by putting a flashy picture

I Would Like To Add One More Thing

In case you are sharing your resume with the recruiter on the email, always mention a short summary of

your profile in the email body.

The summary helps in getting your resume shortlisted, based on the relevance of course.

Also, creating a good impression on your recruiter with the resume is an important and first step

towards cracking the interview.
