If you want to get a job, remove these skills from your CV

Less is more, as the saying goes. Nowhere does this rule apply more than your CV, apparently.

You might think the more you put on your CV the better, but according to analysis by data company Pay Scale, apparently some skills can do you a disservice.

They found the 25 skills that led to the biggest pay hits, with the worst leading to a 15.4 per cent negative pay gap.

If you have any of these on your CV, it might be time to ditch them:

1.Filing

2. Property management

3. Data entry

4. Bookkeeping

5. AS/400

6. Call centre
