10 Items To Take Out From Your Resume

6. Any Information That Can Cause Discrimination

Don't mention anything like religion, social issues, or politics on your resume unless it's relevant to the company you are applying to or if it reflects a strength that will add value to the job position. Readers of your resume may be able to glean that information through the affiliations and organizations you belong to, so be careful about what you put down.

Most of the time, it's best to keep it neutral. Of course, you may not even want to work for an organization that doesn't share your beliefs, so leaving this information in is up to your discretion.

7. Personal Interests

Personal interests should never appear on a resume. In other words, hiring managers shouldn’t care if you like cooking, fishing, basketball, sewing, or any other hobby. A resume should include work-related content, not personal content.
