Here are a few things to keep in mind when writing your resume:
Most people will not read your full resume. Make the first few sentences count.
When talking about your projects, answer 3 questions: What did you do, How did you do it and What was the impact?
For a quick overview of your profile, write a separate 'Skills' section.
Use simple easy to understand language. Don't use words like 'spearheaded' or 'championed'.
You can write an 'Interests' section if you want to help interviewers find ice breakers.
Keep it short and sweet. One page is enough.
But if I could tell you only one thing about Resumes, it would be this:
Resumes are not just written. Resumes are built over time. So, take your time to build a resume that will get you your 'big break'. Good luck!
