Tips & Warnings
Don't leave out any important details. You want to give the interviewer as much information as possible so they can make an informed decision. This resume is what is going to sell you to the interviewer.
Don't rely completely on the resume. Practice answering some questions that you think you may get asked. If you left one of your jobs early for example the interviewer is going to ask you on what terms did you leave the job. Be prepared to answer questions like this.
