The results of a very interesting recruiting survey have recently been posted on the blog Fishdogs. As the name suggests, Top 10 Things to Leave OFF of Your Resume includes the informal responses  from recruiters, hiring managers, and HR professionals to a poll over both Twitter and LinkedIn.

The results? Not all that surprising.

It appears that the recruiting world is having less and less interest in the objective statement, as it hit number one on the list. Also included are things like Religious or Political Affiliations and the standard References Available Upon Request line.

You can check out the full list here, but also make sure to check out the response map, a slick graphic depicting all of the responses.
