10 Of The Dumbest Mistakes People Make On Their Resumes
Sob Stories
Potential employers really don’t want to read about your hardship story on your resume, so no sob stories. If you were out of work for a long period of time, you can explain why in your interview–if asked. “There is no need to give a reason or make a statement of justification. Having a baby, divorce, death in the family, getting sacked, retrenched etc, can be explained if required at an interview. Putting it on your CV creates unnecessary offerings of data which may not attract a positive reaction,” reported LinkedIn.
