3. Make the section headings clear and leave a clear space between sections.
4. Separate each part of your work experience and education clearly.
5. Don't assume the reader will know what some abbreviations and acronyms mean. If doubt, use the full name.
6. Don't exaggerate your talents but don't underestimate them either. Remember to present yourself by using positive adjectives.
