For the next roughly 450 years, the résumé continued to be a mere description of a person, and included their abilities and past employment. In the early 1900s, résumés listed things like weight, height, marital status, and religion. It wasn't until 1950 that the résumé evolved into something more than words written on scraps of paper. By then, résumés were considered very much mandatory, and started to include things like personal interests and hobbies.It wasn't until the 1970s, the beginning of the digital age, that résumés took on a more professional look in terms of presentation and content.[1]
