Include the Right Information

Here's what goes on your résumé, in this order:

• Your name
• Your contact information, including your street address, phone number, professional email address, and any websites that give the employer a more robust picture of who you are, what you do, and what you have accomplished
• Your objective and anything that directly supports it, such as languages, software programs, and so on in which you're fluent

Then what? Do you put your education or your work experience next? It depends on what's stronger. When you're on a first date, don't you emphasize the things that are most impressive about you first? Of course you do, because you're trying to make a good first impression. Your résumé is often your first impression in a business setting. Lead with your strengths.
