Your resume should be in a well organised manner in order to ensure that you know the contents of the resume. Give brief information regarding your job experiences and trainings .It can provide you advantage over others. You should focus on points that fulfill job requirements.
Before going for the interview, try to customize your resume according to job description. High light the skill sets and your experiences which can provide you a competitive edge for that particular job.
While specifying your strengths, be prepared with practical examples. On the other hand, be cautious while expressing your weaknesses. It should be genuine and tell confidently, how you are trying to overcome it.
Also do mention awards and special recognitions you have won. Such awards and recognitions always put positive impact on the resumes. But try not to speak too much about them, if they are out of context.
Use good quality stationary for the resume. Fonts should be legible and seems to be professional. Resume should be in proper format and should not look crowded.
Last but not the least; your resume should be free from grammatical mistakes. An error free resume will show your perfectionism and your responsible behaviour.
