RIGHT YOUR RESUME

And that is not an error, we really mean to right your resume.
STICK TO THE BASICS: Do not miss out writing out in "information chunks".
Write the CV in a descending order, such as your Highest Degree to Lowest or Current Job to the Oldest. It is simply easier for the HR to manoeuvre.
PART1: Your name, address, phone number as one chunk followed by
PART 2: Your Education, Additional Qualification, computer Knowledge.
PART 3: Your qualification, your job history, timeline, roles and responsibilities.
PART 4: Extracurricular Activities, associations, society or awards and honour.
Never send your resume as an inline text but as a separate attachment. It is best saved under your full name.
HIGHLIGHT KEYWORDS: Highlight keywords like the name of the company and your designation in bold.
FEUDAL CV: Your CV does not need any information regarding your family, including your parents'/spouse names or profession. Same is true about your religion or caste. That is an obsolete format(as dead as calling your CV, Bio data). This information regarding your family background may arise only in a personal interview with your potential employer.
SKIP YOUR WEAKNESSES: And strengths too. This is an important part of your CV but meant to be written in a line or 3 at the max. Most people see this as a chance to lengthen their CV. But what it does is it distracts the attention from the main information.
RUN A SPELLING AND GRAMMAR CHECK
DO NOT ATTACH A PHOTO
NO COLOURS OR FANCY FONTS:
PROOF READ WITH FAMILY/FRIEND
