NOTE: Focus only on your past 10 years or so of relevant work experience, then briefly summarize any previous experience. There should be no more than two pages if at all possible.
If the recruiter or employer requests additional information, it can be provided with an addendum.
- college, post-graduate and certifications(CPA, CQA, Six Sigma Black Belt, etc.)

- selected accomplishments and your most relevant industry expertise

- computer and related technical skills
- professional memberships and activities
- foreign languages
Gather and check all necessary information, such as dates of graduation and employment, and list of accomplishments. It is important, that every bit of information must be truthful, or you will lose the opportunity to get the job if discrepancies arise during the interview or reference check. Remember that a misrepresented fact on your resume found after employment can result in termination.
Organize your resume effectively. The facts should be evident at a glance; your name, companies and job titles should be in bold, with dates of service and location.
Objectives should focus directly on the position you are applying for. If you wish, you can omit the Objective section entirely, or make it somewhat generic in nature (see Sample Resumes).
Job experience examples should include:
- the current or most recent first
- starting and ending dates should include month and year
- include a brief description of the company's product or service
- show promotions by new dates, new titles and/or new departments

Under Additional Training provide a short list of your most relevant courses, such as Total Quality Management(TQM), Lean Manufacturing, Kepner Tregoe, Six Sigma, etc.
List memberships in professional societies or organizations that show your interest to stay informed and current about new trends, technologies and techniques under Professional Affiliations.
