The first part of name and contact details, you have to be sure and specific. You have to impress upon the fact that you are always contactable. Besides it also has to be bear in mind that the name and contact details have to appear in each page of the resume on the top. Instead of writing each detail as one line, it is better to write in a single line and align it to the centre. A question also may come as to why the contact details should be on each page. The answer for this is to give a consideration to the employer or the evaluator that is to say, if the employer finds something interesting in the third page of the resume he/she may able to immediately ring up you for any clarification or even invite you for an interview without going back to the first page. When you want to make your resume to stand apart, such minor gestures will go a long way.

As regards to the exposure in the field, the stress should be on the nature of the job rather than the name of the organisation. You must be specific in the assignment which has been finalised. You can start from the latest one as the first or you may start from your first assignment on wards. The employer has to get a feeling that you are consistent in your approach of the assignments.

When you think about the special points, you have to bear in mind that your eligibility should not be confined to your qualifications only. Instead if you have shown your worth in organising any of your college functions or union (without any over stress of the political leanings), your society or the membership of any organisation, all the facts please make sure to highlight.
