So here we go. It's time to get down to the nitty gritty. Here is a breakdown of what your resume should contain and the correct order the information should be in.

Personal details

Name, home address, college address, phone number, mobile number, email address, date of birth.

Education

Give places of education where you have studied - most recent education first. Pre-college courses (high school, etc.) should then be included. Starting with the most recent first, list all qualifications gained, the year they were attained and the college / school were they were taken.

Work Experience

List your most recent work experience first. This could be the employer for whom your currently working. Give the name and address of each employer, job title and what you actually did and achieved in that job. Part-time work should be included.

Interests

Employers will be particularly interested in activities where you have leadership or responsibility, or which involve you working as a team. Don't include hobbies such as stamp-collecting or walking, unless it is relevant to the work you wish to do. Don't go into too much detail here. If an employer wants to know any more information they will ask at the interview. Voluntary work should also be listed. If you are a committee member of  a charity or voluntary organization list it here. If you are a care giver for someone list that too.

Skills

List the particular skills that you have. Are you fluent in a foreign language? Can you do desktop publishing? Can you program a computer? Possession of a driving license is a skill and should be included.

Give two names, addresses and contact telephone number as referees. One should be from a place of study and one from a place of work, If this does not apply, then give the contact information of an older family friend. Make sure that the referees are willing to give you references. If your relationship with the referee ended a long time ago, make sure you list as accurately as possible the dates that the relationship took place and ended. This is so that a referee can put a face to a name

How to write a resume cover letter - In today's competitive job market, finding an open position in your field of choice is akin to waiting in line to ride the most popular roller coaster in a theme park. You've paid to make it in to this giant park by going to college or working your way up to qualify for a position, now you're waiting for room to open up on the coaster so you'll have your shot to enjoy the ride. The only thing with this coaster is, you're never guaranteed a ride. That's why you take the time to construct a detailed, professional-looking resume; a good resume can pull you to the front of the line with potential employers, giving you a chance at that much sooner. But what a resume can't do is guarantee a position. A resume is just a factual representation of your work life--who you have worked for and what you've done. It is structured to be both objective and scannable...
