What not to put on your CV
Your home address apparently.
I didn't know this as not needed my CV for over 10 years. According to a careers advisor my sister spoke to last week she said you should only have your name and a contact that doesn't give away where you live. Like your email or mobile number. She said that whats been happening is employers look up your address to see what kind of area it is and use it to decide whether to call you in for interview. Also to see how you would get to work by public transport and deciding how likely you would be late.
