How should our Resume be and what all things does it contain? Anyone any idea?

I am providing you a list of must have things on your resume.
FORMAT - Use a resume format that is simple, eye-catching, and easy to read. A jumbled resume gives the impression that you are disorganized and lack attention to detail. Remember, in most cases your resume is the first impression hiring professionals will have of you. Make it lasting.
CUSTOMIZATION - Definitely tailor and tweak each resume you send out to the job you are applying for. With today's technology, no one should ever send out a generic resume. It turns the interviewer off when they have to re-read your resume to ensure you meet what they are looking for.
ACCURACY - Thoroughly proof read your resume to catch misspellings, grammatical errors, and typos. Never rely solely on spell check! Re-read the entire resume at least twice before sending it out. Also, be honest - it doesn't pay to hype your resume with qualifications and certifications that you don't have. It almost always comes back to haunt you later.
SPECIFICITY - Be specific in outlining your background and expertise. Use numbers to describe your achievement and responsibilities to elevate your image. Avoid vague statements that waste the interviewer's time and don't make sense in relation to the job you are applying for.
ORDER OF CONTENT - Absolutely prioritize your resume content in chronological order so it easily moves from your most recent job all the way back to relevant positions early on in your career.
LENGTH - Be mindful of the length of your resume. There is no definite standard concerning whether it should be one page or two pages; just make sure it is easy to read. The more experience you have typically dictates the length of your resume.
CONTENT - Don't busy your resume with irrelevant information that doesn't pertain to the job you are applying for. This will help you keep the length of your resume manageable and make it easier for the interviewer to review.
INTERNET READY - Create an internet-ready version of your resume. Today a good percentage of job openings are posted and must be applied for on the internet. This requires that you upload your resume, so also converting it to a text-only format is a great idea.
Hope it helps you out!
Good luck!
