Delete From Resume
An excerpt from the Huffington Post -
9 Seemingly Harmless Things You Should Never Have On Your Resume
We all know you have references available upon request.
By Casey Bond
When was the last time you reviewed your resume? According to a recent poll by career site Monster, 39 percent of respondents said they updated their resume the last time they applied for a job; 8 percent said they couldn’t even remember the last time they looked at it.
But according to Monster’s career expert Vicki Salemi, you should update your resume every six to 12 months. And you shouldn’t just add new positions and responsibilities. You should also get rid of anything that could cost you your next job.
So if you have any of these nine things on your resume, delete them right away.
1. Your photo
Unless you’re applying for an acting, modeling or other job that requires a headshot, your picture doesn’t belong on your resume.
“It makes some hiring managers uncomfortable, as it relates to the possibility of making biased decisions,” said Debra Boggs, a co-founder of D&S Professional Coaching.
Plus, if the photo doesn’t match a company’s culture, it could hurt you. Boggs gave an example from a friend who was hiring for an accounting role. “A qualified candidate sent a resume in with a candid shot of them in a flannel shirt,” she said. “They did not make the cut for an interview for this formal role.”
