Write a home address and telephone number, and a number where you can be reached quickly, i.e., college. Personal information is not necessary, and should not be included. A note of your citizenship for positions which require a security clearance would fit under this heading, i.e., U.S. citizen. Education should list your highest level first. If you have not graduated yet, be positive and assume graduation, i.e., Bachelor of Arts, May 1992.
Experience is the downfall of most resumes.
Write a list of every job you have held, paid or unpaid, as far back as you can remember. The only jobs to omit are family assigned tasks for an allowance. Start the list from the present and work back in time. If you worked at one place for two summers, for example, that job will appear on your list twice, in the proper time sequence. This sequence is not significant, but is a good way of making sure you do not forget anything.
