What NOT to put in your Resume

Everyone talks about what to put in your resume, but this article from Salary.com talks about what to leave out. Most are pretty obvious, but you should definately pay attention to your email handle and also what you post on Facebook and Twitter. There have been several artiles in the Seattle Times lately about people getting burned by tweets or posts that they had written months or even years earlier. Prospective employers will check you out on all of the social media outlets so becareful about what your write. Also keep your linkedin profile up to date. Many hiring managers look at that site first. Keep your resume up to date and don't put things in there that will do more harm than good. d
