3. Your resume has to show information related to position to which you are applying, such as computer engineer, software engineer, programmer, or system analyst.

4. Fragmented sentences can be used in your resume, such as “Working for ABC Company in Java programming for 5 years.” Or “Implemented successfully 3 Oracle ERP projects in manufacturing industry.” Or “Designed SOA framework for marketing business processes”.

5. Explain briefly about the companies that you are working or worked for, such as “ABC Company, one of the software development firms in Australia, specializing in Java and .NET Technology”. Or “XYZ Corporation, an Indian company, providing database professional services, covering design, installation, migration, performance tuning, and onsite support for IBM DB2 Database and Oracle Database software”.

8. Some new abbreviations should be defined in your resume, such as BI (Business Intelligence), FPM (Financial Performance Management), or SaaS (Software as a Services), or SOA (Service Oriented Architecture).
