    Your CV (Curriculum Vitae) – Resume for our American friends sells you to your prospective employer. It has to be straight and too the point. However too many CV’s contain irrelevant information. What are the ten things that you shouldn’t write in your CV?

    1) Don’t use first person in your personal profile

    It sounds too informal if you use the word ‘I’ too often. If you see CV’s that say ‘I am good at this’ or ‘I have experience at this’ or ‘My skills include’ it sounds extremely amateurish. However, if you use the third person, it denotes a certain amount of respectability, authority and value to your previous experience. For instance, you would be better off saying ‘David’s core skills include…’ or ‘He graduated with an MBA in 2005’.

    What They See Trumps What We Say

But they are worthless if the original image is of low resolution. We define resolution using pixels. A pixel is commonly thought of as the smallest individual unit of an image (tiny dots if you will). If the pixel content is low, the image will look fuzzy. Anyone that has bl

That’s what the rest of your CV is for. Think of it as a subheading. It should succinctly summarise what is to follow. It is merely an extension to the selling tool that is called your CV.

    3) Don’t include family details

    Never, ever include personal family details on your CV. If you include details like your wife’s name or your children’s name on your CV then it’s like saying to your prospective employer that family is more important than your current job. Even if it is – it’s not a very good way to ‘sell’ your willingness to focus on work. Think about it. Do business professionals include details about their children on marketing materials for their business? Of course not. It’s as crazy as that. A CV is a selling tool for your industry experience.
