Firstly, there are a few fundamentals to include in every resume such as name, contact details, educational background and employment history. Secondly, there’s info that isn’t really necessary but considered a plus such as an objective or a short profile, the knowledge of any foreign languages, etc. Thirdly, there’s additional information such as your date of birth or hobbies which you might want to include depending on the country in which you are applying for a job.
And last but not least there is the “no kidding” information.
So called “no kidding” information is redundant text on a resume that makes employers think, “no kidding!”
It can be found in many online resume samples as well as on CV’s of graduates up to senior executives. Hence why many people think it should be included in every resume.
All “no kidding” information really does is fill up some blank space.
References available upon request
No kidding! If you are sending your resume to a company, it should be a given that you are willing to provide references when requested, there’s no need to list this on your resume.
Available for interview
No kidding! Why would you apply for a role if you aren’t available (or willing) to attend an interview?
Objective: finding a new challenge
No kidding! So you are actually sending in your resume to find a new job! If you can’t come up with a decent objective, don’t list one at all.
Communicative, knowledge of internet and email
No kidding! These are skills that everyone is expected to have so there is really no need to include them in your resume.
