Here are a few of the important aspects to focus while creating your resume.

Writing a powerful objective in two short lines which will explain clearly what you are seeking. It should be a statement about your career direction. This is the headline of your advertisement.

A well formatted list of your qualifications and certifications in reverse chronological order gives your resume a sense of organization.

Properly presenting your skills and accomplishments can make the difference in getting an interview call or not. This is the key to your appointment for the interview as the interviewer is more interested in what you can do for them than your qualifications.
