Answer 2

You only need a few pieces of information on any resume:  your name and contact info, your highest level of education and any degrees you have earned, and your RELEVANT work experience. You do not need hobbies, objectives, personal commentary, or references.  Always state that references are available on request. Only list your experience that would contribute to the job you're applying for and the dates you worked there. List only the actual DUTIES you performed if they are significant--you don't have put anything else on a resume. Keep it to one page--keep it clean and organized, and in a readable font. The simpler and more relevant it is, the more likely it will be read and noted.
