Best Resume Writing Tips and Technique

Resume/Curriculum Vitae Writing Tips:

• Resume arrangements differ widely, but the following procedures are general:
•  Logically arrange information on:
• Education (institutions, dates, degrees, major field)
• Experience (dates, places, firms/companies, duties, accomplishments);
• Personal details (memberships, interests, achievements – but not religion, race, sex);
• Special information (achievements, qualifications, capabilities.
• Construct a heading for the entire resume and sub-headings for the parts.
• Include other vital information such as objectives and contact information. 
•  Arrange the data for best eye appeal – making the resume balanced – not crowded.
