Begin your employment history with your most recent position. It is advisable to start in a ‘reverse-chronological’ order. The names and locations of the previous companies should be properly listed. Mentioning about your title and responsibilities in each previous company is very important. It helps in further evaluation of yours. Include if there is any special achievements. You can also describe your contributions to the company, specifically to your department. If there is any gap in your career please try to give a valid reason. If you have limited experience, you can also list part-time and temporary jobs.

At the end of your resume, you should mention if you have any special skills or qualifications e.g., foreign language fluency, knowledge of computer programs, of GAAP or GAP. Don’t forget one thing, you should include the names and contact information of at least two references in your resume.
