koastar: dazzy4real: @poster I was surprised when I read the part of age not being compulsory when I thought 'twas no. 1 Different flakes for different folks I guess but I don't think there can be universal standards, maybe 'generally accepted resume principles'; we need to realise that each organisation has its peculiar needs from applicants so try to tailor your resume to the REQUIREMENTS they advertised.- Some people have suggested having multiple CVs which is quite reasonable so that the CV you send to an employer completely matches (most of) what the employer wants from you. As for age, I know a school of thought that doesn't deem it compulsory. Sometimes, the age could be estimated when your education profile is seen but if the age requirement is stated, just put your DOB there for (except you're the 'special one') HR may not bother calling to confirm. Ditto, marital status (the job could require someone who travels alot). |
