9 managers reveal the red flags of the CV that prevent them from hiring someone

Building the perfect resume is a form of art – and it can be extremely stressful to decide what to include.

You may think that your resume is perfect, but there are probably several things you should take off immediately.

On Reddit, recruiters and hiring managers responded to the question, "What do you hate about resumes?" And they have strong opinions about your hobbies, your high school jobs and even your e-mail address. .

Unimpressive skills at your embarrassing e-mail address from years ago, here are nine things you should immediately remove from your resume if you want to get the job of your dreams.

1. Your college email address

"A resume can be absolutely perfect but when it comes from an email address of [email protected] or [email protected] or another monstrosity instead of your name or the abbreviation of your name, you will have no chance. – Redditor In-Jail-Out-Soon

2. Your unnecessary hobbies

"I really do not need to know if you like rock climbing. This work does not involve escalation. Personal information and hobbies are better saved for simple maintenance. If you have a hobby or skill that really relates to the company or job you are working for, you can leave it as is. (For example, if you are applying for a marketing job for a company that writes hiking guides, then YES, absolutely mention your love of mountain hiking on this particular resume … .if you apply for a job in marketing for a company that: makes bakery products … no one cares about your hobby hobby). "- Redditor RachelSid

3. The class you took in high school

"I hate to see a list of classes, activities, etc. that you attended in high school or college. I can be 100% wrong but in my opinion, this shows only poor judgment. You are an adult now. Telling me this by telling me about the year you spent in the JV volleyball team makes me think of you as a kid. Believe me: we know that at age 22 you do not have a long professional experience. We did not do it either, but we all have to start somewhere. – Redditor Jim631

4. A picture of yourself

"A big pet peeve for me was the number of head shots people included. It affected many areas of human rights and protected lands and made me responsible if I did not hire someone because of his or her skills, but being part of a visible minority would easily could turn against me / society. – Redditor BarefootGem

5. unimpressive skills

"Microsoft Word, it tells me I can type." – Redditor Sihada

6. exaggerated skills

"Any skill for which you are not prepared to answer questions. It may sound a bit technical, but if you describe Python as a skill, it's hard to go back when I ask you to do a simple Python coding exercise. "- Reddit user, cassieramen

7. Job titles too inflated

Very small job for which you name him entrepreneur, project manager, CEO, CIO. You establish the small network of your church … "CIO". Sells any … "entrepreneur".

"It sounds bad and eliminates anyone looking for resume databases. You may be good for a beginner networking position, but you call yourself CIO or project manager from your father's office, you hardly work. "

8. Links to your social media accounts

"Unless your social media is fully dedicated to your work and your field, I'm not sure." – Redditor EmberDione

9. Every job you had

"I really do not need to know that you cut Mrs. Thompson's grass at the age of 13 and described her as an entrepreneur who started her own landscaping business," she said. a user of Reddit.
