Every resume is different.
If you are an accountant with 15 years of experience, your resume is going to be very different than that of a recent college grad who hasn't even taken the CPA exam. But there are quite a few things that should always be done when creating a resume, no matter where you are in your career. You should also include a brief section on education, with the large part of your resume being dedicated to work experience. This section should include not only your past titles and the companies you have worked for, but also a list of your major accomplishments or responsibilities while working there. When you did the things on your resume is very important to a potential employer.
