Leave This Information Off Your IT Resume!
There are some countries where it’s normal to add personal information to IT resumes. IT recruiters and IT staffing agencies want to know things like your birthday, marital status, religion, whether you have kids, etc. Or sometimes IT professionals will list this kind of information not because it’s a cultural norm, but simply because IT recruiting companies have never told them not to.
It’s important for IT professionals seeking new jobs to know that in the US, technical recruiters and IT staffing firms are actually pretty uncomfortable getting personal information on a resume. A hiring manager may actually find somebody to be unprofessional for including it. It could cost you IT jobs to leave all this personal information on your resume. While most IT recruiting firms and IT staffing companies might see past this mistake and help you clean up your resume, it’s best to leave it off in the first place. You’ll save your IT recruiting agencies some time and solidify your impression on them as more professional.
