• Answer:

  Lesson 1: Do not include your age Lesson 2: Do not include specifics about experience...they will see this on your resume Lesson 3: Organization Lesson 4: Do not include dates. They will know if you are applying you are available or will be in the near future. Having a date allows them to make snap-decisions/judgements and take away your chance of an interview.
