4. Unless it has something to do with the job

you don't put personal or political information on a resume. I am gay and would never do such a thing. A job resume should be written how the job is advertised and what qualifications are required. If they don't require a Master's Degree, don't put your Master's Degree on the resume. I find it so incredible how badly resumes are written today. It is not a mystery why people are unemployed for long periods. When I write a job announcement, I write exactly what I want in an employee and what I get back is a bunch of braggers thinking they are all that. Forget it, I want a person who can follow directions on what I want in an employee. Very simple requirement that most people don't get.
