What to put on a resume?

letter of interest:

the reason why you want to work there, what you can offer to them (think of a reason why they should hire you abouve other people),...

resume:

- personal info (name, adress, contact information,...)

- education (chronologic, most recent first)

- any experience like student jobs

- skills (language, computer,...)

- interests and hobbies

I was taught that your full name is the most professional route, and it's easy to remember too. With gmail, you can put a dot between your first and last name, and it'll work with or without (just a nice option). Never have an AOL or Hotmail email address if you're applying for a tech job; techs in the know frown upon those companies. Do your best not to use an ISP email like Comcast or Verizon, because you're not going to have that email as soon as you cancel your internet, move, switch providers, etc. The free ones like Yahoo and Gmail are theoretically yours forever. Also, unless your grandmother would approve of your MySpace, don't use the same email, because HR will search, and if they see foul language and beer pics, well...
