Go out and look up a what all goes on a resume website. What can you find? Include an example image if possible.

There are many things that go into a resume, but let's keep in mind that every resume is different. Depending on what the resume is for, the information in the resume will vary. Below, I have listed the common necessities in resumes that you will most likely find in any resume:
  • Name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
  • Employment objective. State the type of work or specific job you are seeking.
  • Education, including school name and address, dates of attendance, major, and highest grade completed or degree awarded. Consider including any courses or areas of focus that might be relevant to the position.
  • Experience, paid and volunteer. For each job, include the job title, name and location of employer, and dates of employment. Briefly describe your job duties.
  • Special skills, computer skills, proficiency in foreign languages, achievements, and membership in organizations.
  • References, only when requested.
  • Keep it short
  • Avoid long paragraphs; use bullets to highlight key skills and accomplishments.

Resumes are easy to make and even though most resumes are the same, some might be different depending on what the person is making the resume for.
