What does a good resume contain? from Cheri Crystal's blog

Start by providing your full name and contact information, including your phone number and email address.

Career Goals or Outline

These are short instructions to help you present yourself. If you've recently left school or college and don't have much work experience yet, start to write a resume with a lifelong goal, a sentence or two describing your skills, and career aspirations. If you're dealing with the job market, other things being equal, you should include a brief job outline outlining your experience and where you want to go next at work.

Instructions

First, summarize your most recent training experience, then work in reverse. This includes courses or skills you have completed at university or other organizations relevant to the job you are applying for. Integrate your senior tutoring if it was less than five years ago. For each experience, consider the skills you acquired, when you started and finished any special areas of study, and scholarships or other achievements.
