Be careful here, US hiring policies will frown on the information included on the sample resumes. It may be different overseas but here you should never indicate personal info like age and marital status on a resume. From Sample Resume #1:

Name : Jon Deny
Father’s Name : ----------
D.O.B : -------
Marital Status : ----
Sex : Male
Native State : ------
Nationality : ----------
Languages Knows : English, Hindi and Punjabi.
Hobbies : Computers, Experimenting new avenues.
Address : -----------
E-mail ID – ---

When I worked in staffing, people DID send resumes with their marital status, hobbies, date of birth, and even the names of their spouse and kids!

If they were viable candidates, I went over with them what NEEDED to be removed (all those things above.) Never should be in a US resume - and I appreciate your diligence here! There's so much BAD resume information available, only people don't know it's bad!

More and more, I would tell anyone in the US, at least, to find better resources than interviewghost!
