What are some 'conventional wisdom' resume concepts that are now out of date?
For example, I've read that having "references available upon request" is obsolete and should be removed from the resume (if the company wants references they'll ask).
Also, I've heard the same of the Objective (e.g. To obtain full-time employment where I can utilize my skills to blah blah blah) - the idea being that most of the time resumes are fed into tracking systems anyway, and the fact that you're applying already conveys that you're looking for employment.
Do you concur with these, and are there others you'd point out?
