What should be omitted from a nursing assistant's resume when applying for a new job?

  1. Work experience

  2. References

  3. Marital status

  4. Education background

The correct answer is: Marital status

Omitting marital status from a nursing assistant's resume is appropriate because personal information, such as marital status, is not relevant to a candidate's qualifications for a job. Resumes should focus on professional experience, education, and skills that demonstrate the candidate's ability to perform the job effectively. Including irrelevant personal details can distract from the key strengths and qualifications that make a candidate suitable for the position. Additionally, in many contexts, including marital status may raise legal and ethical concerns regarding discrimination. This practice allows for a more professional presentation of one's qualifications, which is what employers are primarily interested in when reviewing resumes.
