Besides highlighting your location (for work), your contact information, link to your online portfolio, dates & places of employment, your resume must touch upon 2 more things:
Value add + Skills.
These days employers and recruiters are sourcing online by doing keyword searches, so that's one reason to specify your skill set. Another one is simply, to get extra consideration for a job.
- If you have experience working with Web, online, interactive, digital projects, tell us! And be specific; use as many of those words as apply to particular projects so you get picked up by various keywords.
- If you are an Art Director who can do CSS, Flash, Javascript... any sort of extra "value-add" Web Dev, whatever, tell us.
- If you have managed people, led teams, won accounts for your agency, tell us.
- If you have worked in B2B, B2C, Automotive, Financial, Healthcare... tell us!
- Anyone else I didn't cover, think about what people ask you in interviews or phonescreens - tell us the answers upfront so you get bumped to the top of the pile right off the bat.
