I have specific sections in mine, with the most important parts at the beginning. Resumes are supposed to be short, preferably one page. If it has to be 2 pages, make the paper double sided. However, people get bored after the first page. Some jobs require a certain amount of pages.
It should have info such as, your name, address, phone number, email address.
Then sections such as:
Education, with colleges attended (if any), your major, and date of graduation (possibly GPA)
Relevant Experience or past jobs, with explanations of duties.
Relevant Specialties (like ability to use Microsoft Office, or other special programs)
These sections can be variable, since I don’t know what kind of jobs you’re applying for, but these are to give you an idea of types of stuff that should go in one.
And of course, format it to look nice.
This might include the use of tables or columns to keep things nice and aligned, bullet points, bolding section titles, etc.
