• Dont forget about the importance of telling
  about leadership skills on resume, ability to
  handle with management and any soft skills.

• Then it is a good idea to tell about your
  education and practice if there is any. Of
  course, mention that you were studying at MIT or
  Cornell, but not pay too much attention to that,
  as this is not the only reason to hire you, is
  it?

• Also, tell about any relevant certificates,
  classes, and courses that are useful for the
  vacancy.

• And, finally, add some information about your
  additional practice and activities. Any one-day
  projects, remaking something, working with
  business and so on. Dont undervalue such
  experience.

Another important advice for writing a resume
always be honest. Never mention skills that you
dont have or projects you havent participated
in.

• Now you decided what to include, what is
  important and what should be missed. Then choose
  your plan how would you write it?
  Chronologically or a plan according to skills?

• One more important thing to remember exclude all
  the water from irrelevant activities and
  experience. There is nothing professional in
  creating a resume which would look like a
  biography.

Also, dont undervalue choosing the best font for
cv as well as the best font for resume. It is
something that could create a first impression
before you do it by yourself at the interview.
