Do I have to include in my resume that I have a website, even if no money has been made from the website? Also, this website is not the line of work that the resume describes.

Thank You.

You'd have to be a bit more specific to get a useful answer.
What sort of website do you have?
You didn't earn any money with it, but did you try to?
What line of work is the site in? What line of work do you do yourself?

My gut feeling says you don't have to mention it if it's not relevant to your intended career, but you do need to figure out what to say when an employer finds out you have it.

Hi Yol2012,

Stijnhommes is right -- we would need to know your career goal and the purpose of the site to give you sound advice. In general, you don't have to include websites that you own on the resume. I only recommend including a website link if the site supports your qualifications for your career goal.
Best wishes,
Kim Isaacs
