What
Not To Include
There are no hard and fast rules on what not
to put in a CV, it is personal preference. However,
you don`t want to make your CV drag on and there
is no point in putting any information that is
irrelevant to the job. Here are a few tips on
what not to put in your CV
Age, height, weight, marital status are not pertinent
to the hiring process (unless you're applying
to be a model).
Photos - the only people who need to include these
are models, actors, actresses and possibly air
cabin crew.
Salary details.
An employer will always offer the minimum that
they can get away with.
Any sort of
failure - exams, marriages, businesses, etc.
Fancy binders,
several colours, complicated graphics.
Negative descriptions,
problems or gaps in work history which would
cause the reader to have doubts about you. That
is not to say you should lie, however it is
far easier to discuss these issues in greater
detail at an interview.
Reasons for
leaving each job.
Do not use poor
quality photocopies of your CV - they make it
look as though you are sending off your CV to
lots of companies and that you may not be too
bothered who you work for.
Don`t list more
than 3 referees - no relatives.
Good luck with
any future employment
