An HR Administrator once told me that she had encountered some applicants who submitted 3-5 pages of curriculum vitae. When she read the contents, she was surprised to read some unnecessary details and some information not related to the job he’s applying for. She gave the job hunter a chance by scheduling an interview the next day. The closed door meeting with the panel ended up as a disaster because it turned out that the applicant is not really sure of what he wrote in his resume. He hasn’t even attended the seminars he stated!
If you are applying for a job, make sure that you tell nothing but the truth. The HR officers can search for your records anytime via the character references and internet search.
