Certain information in the résumé is no longer up to date.

If you haven't applied for a long time, you should be careful now.

Application documents often lie dormant for years as a file on the home PC.

Only when a job change is due * do we have to deal with it again for better or worse.

But if you think

that you only have to add the current position to your

résumé,

you are wrong.

Over time, certain information in the Curruculum Vitae (CV) will go out of style and should be removed as soon as possible so as not to leave a bad impression.

We'll show you which points are now totally out of date.

This is why you should change jobs every two years.

Personal details in the curriculum vitae: parents, family, religion

It used to be common practice to include

parents and their occupations

on their résumé.

But you can safely leave out this information.

HR managers are also no longer interested in which

religion

the applicant belongs to.

The question of religion is even forbidden in job interviews - due to the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Exception: Anyone applying to church employers, such as a Catholic kindergarten, may be asked about it.

Whether you are

married or have children

is also none of your business.

However, if you expect it to be an advantage for the position, for example because you want to develop products for children, this information can be very useful.

School career

In the case of career starters who do not have any work experience, information on school time is still acceptable.

For those who have been working for a long time, however, school education no longer plays a role - it can confidently be ignored in the application.

By the way:

Primary school

doesn't even have anything to look for in the résumé of young professionals.

References are usually superfluous

According to experts, in

times of digitization,

references

only

play

a role in rare cases.

Many employers prefer to find out about their applicants via social media and career networks such as Xing or LinkedIn.

However, if a well-known person gives you a reference along the way, it will certainly cast a good light on your application.
