What Not to Put on Your Resume
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

The "bone in your nose" is also anything that will elicit a possibly negative reaction from the hirer. If you can put "president of a political organization" instead of "president of the young republicans," this is better. Better yet put "president of an organization with 500 members". (They will ask you about this, but talking allows more latitude.)

You can also leave it off. If you put that you volunteer for the young republics, you stand the chance of alienating a percentage of your reviewers, depending upon their political beliefs, and how "open" they are to people in the opposing camps.

Avoid such statements as "I study metaphysics," or "I'm a born again Christian." Why? Because they aren't pertinent to your ability to do the job. When you do bring it up, it can open a can of worms, i.e., "Well do you hire people according to their astrological chart?"

Talk to your broadest audience. For hobbies, put "working out" rather than "Chi Gong," and "music" rather than "rap music".

If you're asked to reveal your weaknesses, use your head. Here are some suggestions:

• When applying for a high-stress unpredictable job, "My love of variety, though in a job like this that might come in handy."
• When applying for an accounting job, "My need for things to be exact and attention to detail. I want everything to be right."
• When applying as a paralegal, "Creativity. I like things structured, to know what I'm supposed to be doing and to do it."
• When applying for a position where there's been lots of turnover, "One weakness I have is that I like to stay in one position and not job hop. I tend to take a position and stay there."
• When applying to work at a children's shelter, "My weakness is kids."

In Process

Present a weakness as "in process," i.e., "In moving into management, I've realized becoming an excellent manager is a lifelong proposition, and I'm always eager to strengthen my skills."

Other suggestions (in an organization large enough to offer training):

• Cold calls. Do you have training in this?
• Computer skills. Seems like there's always something new I want to learn.
• Excel. Haven't had the opportunity to use it much.
• Trade shows. Will I get a chance to learn this?

There's no reason to serve up your weakness without a little whipped cream on top!

It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough.
