Why is it the first thing on your resume is your status and gender? like everyone say get rid of that. you are looking for a job so list your professional skills, Certs & education. A resume is not a "Birth Certificate" or "Myspace profile".

That's right, plus it makes him look like he is after a date and not a job LOL

Seriously that should be removed (IE Status, gender, etc.) because potential employers are NOT going to be too interested in that....

Just my advice, though do whatever you want

np... i worked in a position where i was responsible for hiring, so ive seem every type of resume possible...from the high school ones to the ones that think that if they put it on fancy paper or neon paper it stands out...well neon paper does stand out but ehh

some stuff can stay, if you have a feel for the company.

Like if you know there is a preference for male or female, then you could put Gender, similarly if you had an idea whether they wanted a young or mature person , then you could put that.

When in doubt, leave it out, but if you have an idea, then put it in.

e.g., if it was a island wide repair technician who is required on call 24/7, then being young and single may be an asset, as opposed to the married person, who may not have that latitude.

We make decisions based on the info before us.. so we would most likely choose the person who is best tailored for the job we have.

all of that can be discussed and revealed in an interview, things like that should not be on a resume. When in doubt ask someone. The whole purpose of a resume is to show off your skills and experience. If a company wants a specific gender they would normally state it in there job posting, being "young" and single means nothing on paper. If you use that to determine there qualifications for a job applicant you may be selling our self and your company short.
