Resume Writing Tips & Free Resume Examples

Some people include personal information on their resumes. This is generally not recommended, but you might wish to include it, if you think that you have something special in your personal life, such as a hobby has some bearing on the position you are seeking, in other reason, it helps employers to see your whole personality not just your qualifications. This type of information is often referred to at the beginning of an interview, when it may be used as an “icebreaker.” Of course, personal information regarding your age, marital status, race, religion, or sexual orientation should never appear on your resume as personal information. It should be given only in the context of memberships and activities, and only when doing so would not expose you to discrimination.
