What to include in Cv’s

Information that each resume must include is the name, address, contact number, work experience, education and skills. Anything else – references, personal information irrelevant to the job, photographs, unrelated hobbies and activities, salary outline, objectives – is better left out unless the advertisement specifically asks for it. The thing to keep in mind is that the three main characteristics employers look for in any prospective employee are a strong work ethic, personal integrity and good communication skills. Any personal information that does not serve to illustrate these is usually redundant.
