Don't forget that a whole lot of people are applying for the same position you are applying for and so you need to make your resume outstanding and rich in content

Employers match your résumé against their job openings to evaluate if you'd be a good fit. As such, it's important to make your résumé a good representation of yourself.

Remember that the format you choose may not be in the exact order as the following sections; similarly, you may not be using each section, depending on your circumstances.
