Should I Put This on my Resume? (2)

3. A disability: 
"There is a common and not unfounded fear that revealing a disability may lead to not being selected for a position. This makes the disclosure choice a difficult one," says Barbara Otto, executive director of Think Beyond the Label, a national collaborative aimed at increasing employment among people with disabilities. " A resume is a springboard for you to give details about your skills, experience and the unique perspectives you bring to the table. You should not explicitly state your disability, but you can weave in your professional experience and hobbies that may be disability-related.

... Then in the interview you can use these achievements to break the ice about your disability if you choose to."

4. Grade point average: 
It's great if you graduated from college with a 4.0, but if you did so 10 years ago, it's probably time to remove your GPA from your resume.

"A person's GPA would normally only be listed on the resume if [he] recently graduated from college," Margolin says. "If the GPA is below a 3.0, it is usually best to leave it off. In certain circumstances, a GPA would remain on longer... some job listings require a certain GPA minimum."
