Most job hunters are content to putting their whole life in that resume just so that the recruiter will see how intelligent, lovable, and deep they are. Unfortunately, there are something you should put in there and then there are some that you shouldn’t. Here are just a few.

Too-personal information:

  • Age
  • Marital Status
  • Ethnicity
  • Weight
  • Number of kids

Why place this information there in the first place? The recruiter isn’t going to ask you about this topic anyway (against the law).

Topics to throw out:

  • Objective
  • Salary History
  • Job description articles

Besides being useless to the recruiter, this type of information just adds more mass to your resume making it unreadable.
