Should we mention Mother's Name, Religion & Declaration In CV Resume?
As i m a B.tech final year student, campus drives are coming soon. i have a query regarding resume's formats.
it is necessary to provide family details like father name, mother name, religion, nationality, D.O.B. and informations like that. also is declaration also necessary because it increase the length of resume. does it has more importance of showing in resumes.
i have seen lot of old pattern cv in which these kind of informations have been providing.
Answer:
The inclusion of personal information such as a mother's name, religion, or declaration is generally not necessary or recommended in a CV or resume.
A CV or resume is primarily focused on your professional qualifications, skills, education, and work experience. Including personal information unrelated to your professional profile can potentially introduce bias or discrimination during the hiring process.
In many countries, it is common practice to keep CVs and resumes free from personal details that could lead to discrimination based on factors such as gender, religion, or ethnicity.
The aim is to promote fair and equal opportunities for all candidates.
Instead, focus on highlighting your relevant qualifications, work experience, skills, achievements, and any other professional accomplishments that demonstrate your suitability for the position you are applying for.
If an employer requires additional personal information, they will usually request it separately as part of the application process or during the interview stage.
Always be mindful of the local customs and practices when creating your CV or resume, as requirements may vary depending on the country or industry.

Kaustubh KatdareA CV is an on-paper representation of you - the professional. What to include in it is entirely your choice. But presenting information that isn't related to your job won't add value to your resume. Your father / mother / religion won't usually matter, but nationality and Date of Birth could be asked to fill in. So you may not mention those details in your CV.
Declaration, I believe is optional. I've always questioned why it's necessary to declare what you are writing in your resume is 'correct'. It HAS to be correct. Also, when I graduated, I accommodated all my information in just one page. I paid lot of attention to formatting and presenting the information and even had interviewers appreciate the way I had presented information.

I personally find it a little out of the place. You certifying yourself does not make any sense to me. I'd not include it in my resume. I'd recommend removing it.Engg.Deeit might be as..
