Omissions in our Resumes

Yes. Resume is something about ourselves. We can tell something about us but there are things that we need not tell or write in our resumes. Only write what you think are important according to the position that you are applying for and the qualifications that will make you win an interview. If the saying that "less talk, less mistake" is true, then it is also applicable in resumes that "less information, less mistake" which means that there is a bigger chance that you will be hired because of creating a good resume.

Here are the things that we need to omit in our own resumes:
1. An objective.
2. Short-term jobs.
3. A functional format.
4. A photo.
5. A fancy design.
6. Subjective descriptions.
7. Any mention of high school.
8. Extra pages.
9. Your salary.
10. Any mention of references.

It is okay to omit some details in your resume especially when you are you think your resume will just face criticism if you forced to make it look like that way. Erasing some information will be worth it if you studied the unnecessary ones. Omitting will only make you pass the next level for it gives the employer a specific view about yourself.
