Crafting an effective resume is crucial in today's competitive job market. Avoid including personal information like age, height, weight, marital status, social security number, photographs, political or religious affiliations, reasons for leaving past jobs, salary requirements, and health availability. Instead, focus on relevant personal details such as your name, address, phone number, and email. Clearly state your career objectives, education, and experience in reverse chronological order. Remember, your resume should be concise, limited to two pages, and formatted for clarity.
