1. The recommended font size for your name is 14
2. Your address and contact information should be font size 8.5
3. Your objective should be as brief as possible.
4. Education, keep the relevant courses to a minimum.
5. Achievements and Awards: this is optional; it only applies if you
actually have something to say.
6. Again be sure to list your work experience in reverse
chronological order, most recent first followed by others in the
past.
7. Other Skills
8. Co-curricula activities: keep it interesting but brief
