You can describe about your qualities i.e. About your skills and achievements / awards, about your experience, and one thing more place a powerful objective at the top, because the objective in a resume is scanned first by an interviewer.

In the past, I have done some, and although I don't have too much to right, I write any experience I have whatsoever, like any volunteer work or any internships that I have done that are at all associated with the job, then I would list any achievements I have gotten, in school, suma cum lade, exc. Then I would list any other jobs I have had (no offiliation to the job) then any volunteer work (also not affiliated) sorry about spelling, I couldn't spell right if my life depended on it. I hope this helped

Your resume is more about your experience and accomplishments rather than your character traits.  Your traits will come out during an interview.  The first thing an employer wants to know is whether or not you can do the job for which you are applying.  That is what your resume must address.

Does your resume tell an employer what you are capable of doing?  Can you show the employer examples of what you can do through the information you list on your resume?  Use any positions of authority you have had in the past, whether at school, church, volunteering or whatever to show the employer that you can do the job.

Be positive, do not use the word " I ", when it says to describe yourself. State your qualities. Example.  Loyal, prompt, would be a great asset to your company. There are tons of websites that will help you walk thru on building a resume and will give you great examples. I hope I was some help. :) have a good evening

Resume is your first impression in front of an interviewer, so do not place lot of stuff in your resume, it must be simple and sweet, things about you,you can write your achievements and experiences.

Resume is a document used by a person to present their backgrounds and skills when applying for a new job, which contains a summary of relevant job experience and education in no more than 2 pages written in the third person.

The first and most important thing is to make sure you have made your application documents including resume, cover letter and bio data written in the proper format.

As referring to resume, you had better give a brief Summary made up of 2-3 sentences describing who you are and what you can do for the employer, Experience Section avoid being almost empty or full of experience but includes facts that may persuade the employer that you can handle the job you are applying, all in no more than 2 pages.
