Resume Formats Resumes generally list information under specific headings. The order of these headings is dependent upon what you have to offer and what the reader wants to hear. Identifying information at the top of the page includes name, address and phone numbers. The Objective should be clear and concise and should focus on what you want to do within the organization. Whether you are a seasoned professional or recent graduate will determine where to put this heading in your resume.
Employers prefer to see relevant work experience listed before education.
Work Experience is an important section of your resume. You can go back ten years and list job experience from that period but shouldn't include high school experience.
