I've mentioned this on your blog but I've seen a glut of job ads requiring salary history on your resume (and I mean very explicitly stating that is ht they want). So I keep a copy of my resume that has this infor included even though it's not ho you normally do this.

Hi!
One thing that has recently confused me is that should Social media id's (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin) included in the Resume or just give a professional email id.

I totally agree that there is NO single rule about resumes. This article is excellent. The one page resume did not die; it never existed as a hard and fast rule. Nobody uses objectives today - it's not about what you want; it is about the employer's needs and wants. Start with a summary of qualifications or a profile of your value to the company. Use facts, not opinions. I encourage your readers to get more advice from my company's website:

Having put objectives in every resume I use, I find it hard to get rid of them. How does a resume start without an objective? Does it go straight into work history/ degree information? Speaking of degree info, if one was to leave out the major what would you put down? Just "Bachelor of Science"?
