Is it true that when applying for a specific job, your resume should only include relevant information?

SA - experience. Relevant experience. Damn it.

That depends on the amount of experience you have, or so I would say.

If you have a lot of relevant experience that should be the focus, but if you don't, I would have put "irrelevant" experience on your resume rather than leaving it fairly blank.

THIS!

Don't have much experience? Include everything! So much experience it'd fill three pages? Weed it down to the most relevant stuff.

Well, it depends. "Relevant" might not include the two months you waited tables if you're jumping between business positions. But most jobs, if you worked for at least six months or so, can attest to various skills you've learned - customer service! Computer/data input! Working in large groups/independently, or in a stressful environment!

You can skip jobs if you don't think they are relevant, but if you're supposed to write a complete resume, "gaps" in employment might be asked about. Which you could explain in a cover letter, too.

Semi relevant at least. As long as it doesn't look like padding for the hell of it.

Yeah, but "relevant" can be pretty broad. Like jobs and degrees that aren't related to the one you're applying for can still be good to show that you have life experience, work experience, ambition, work ethic, leadership skills/whatever other skills, etc.

You can spin almost any job experience into something relevant.

If you have experience in the same type of job or in the same field, then that should be the bulk of the resume. But you can and should still mine your other jobs for transferable skills and include them, space allowing.

No. Your resume should include everything that is a skill, area of research/study, previous work experience related to and not related to the position for which you are applying, and anything else really impressive about yourself.

Employers are far more likely to hire someone with a resume that reflects a broad scope of experience rather than someone who only lists a few things that are directly related to the job application.
