Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Personal information that is not job-related, such as height, weight, and hobbies, should be excluded from a résumé. Revealing ethnic background should only be done if it is relevant to the job, such as in cases where bilingualism is required. Social security numbers can be given during the application process and are not necessary to include on a résumé. Mailing address can be included, but only the city, state, and zip code are necessary.
