How to write a resume

At the age of twentysomething, we are probably writing a resume for the first time. For job seekers, a one page resume is often the right length. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's resume is only one page long, I cannot imagine if most of us has more to put on the resume than her.

1.  What you need is a sweet and concise resume. An entry job would have relatively more applications than a senior position. Human resources will not spend too much time reading up on resumes applying for an entry level.
2. Indicate your name and contact details. You want the reader to know whose resume is this.
3. The top half of your resume is the premium section. This is where people start reading, so place all the good stuffs you want people to read there. Write the most recent job experience/internships/exemplary achievements.
4. The second half is for writing things that are relatively less important, but these are some things that employers look out for as well. Include the extracurricular activities that you have participated.
5. Use verbs. If you had done an important project during a internship. Write in your resume as - Executed a project from start to finish.
6. Include your earliest commencement date in the email body and leave contact details again.
