    This article is continued from ‘Ten Things NOT To Write In Your CV – Part One’. 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?

    6) Don’t be all things to all people

    Some people with a broad range of experience or an eclectic background feel that this can’t be anything but good news for their employment prospects. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! In all but a handful of circumstances, unless you can demonstrate a clear, logical career progression in your CV then you’re diminishing your chances of future employment. This doesn’t mean that you should lie about your past on your CV. It simply means that you should try and find a common trail of experience in the bullet point summaries of your previous experience. Try not to highlight a vast range of skills from administration to sales unless you’re applying for a general management position.

    7) Don’t mention every qualification you’ve every earned

    This again stems from pride. It stems from pride and a willingness to demonstrate that you’ve achieved things in the past. Unfortunately gaining a basic qualification in Geography at school doesn’t mean a thing unless you choose to study the subject at University! A rule thumb should be that a better qualification replaces the one before. If you have a degree, you are generally bet

    Attracting Jobs to Your State
    States are competing for new business much like people bidding at an auction. The state with the lowest cost to the Company is likely to win the bid. Tax breaks, $1 land leases, state assistance, construction costs, availability to skilled labor, and logistics are major concerns for companies. States that solve these problems are likely to win the bid but many states aren’t even in the game.Companies are always looking for

    The Power of Reflection
    When people think of the word “reflection”, they typically think first of a mirror. After all, we use it as a part of our normal morning routine. We walk to the bathroom and look at ourselves in the mirror. We do that, out of habit, to see “how we look” and to help us improve our appearance for the day ahead.Mirrors are useful tools in our day. In a short amount of reflection time we get information about ourselves tha

    You Work For Your Customers
    A company’s primary objective should be to serve its community.This isn’t some liberal, utopian, socialistic, touchy-feely sentimentality. This is a too little recognized and often overlooked factor in a company’s long-term success. The reason it is hard to believe is because we are confronted with daily headlines about greedy CEOs, profiteering multi-nationals and selfish companies of all sizes.The reason it is har
    ate that you’ve achieved things in the past. Unfortunately gaining a basic qualification in Geography at school doesn’t mean a thing unless you choose to study the subject at University! A rule thumb should be that a better qualification replaces the one before. If you have a degree, you are generally better off not mentioning your school qualifications. Similarly, if you have over five years experience in your chosen industry then you’re probably better off not mentioning your school qualifications. Remember that people will only skim your CV and you only want relevant, important details to be read.

    8) Don’t be too personal about your personal interests

    You can probably turn people off more than you can turn people on when they’re reading your CV. The secret is to include nothing more important or appealing than your employment experience or qualifications. Sure, you should mention the fact that you enjoy playing golf in your spare time. Some people however talk about their favourite golf course or their best score. That’s going too far. Leave that for bonding with the interviewer if appropriate.

    9) Don’t make your CV longer than 3 pages

    No matter the quantity or quality of your experience there is no need to have your CV longer than 3 single sides of paper. If you are relevant for a job role, your prospective employer may ask for more information – but until then don’t take the risk of them not finding the most important information. Again, remember that the first and only pu
