How do you write a resume?

Answer:
Although there are templates for formatting a resume, you should not just plug in the information, as this can make your resume look the same as all the others. A resume lists your job history and accomplishments in the field, illustrating your qualifications for a position.

Resume writing is one of those tasks that most of us at one time or another must face in the working world. To create an effective resume, a person must give a strong and powerful accounting of their skills and experience as well as their previous work history and education. There are three standard formats of resumes that employers are used to reviewing. These are the chronological, functional and "combination" formats. Depending on your current career situation, you can review each format and select which is best.

A resume may also suggest the salary that you expect - while writing a resume, you should keep in mind the position that you are applying for and the expected salary.

When you write your resume you need to be aware that most recruiters make their decision on it around 2/3 of the way down page 1. This means you should make sure that you clearly state how your skills and experience match the job you are applying for quickly on the CV. To do this you should follow your contact details with a Profile - 4 or 5 lines saying who you, what you offer and what you want. This should be followed by a key skills section - 5 of your key skills with examples. I have put a link in below that tells you how to write a resume and it contains an example.
