A couple things I learned about a resume.

1. It should be 1 page, 2 at max. After that its simply too long to bother with.

2. Dont add references. Only supply them when asked for them unless the job you are applying for actually says to include them with your resume.

3. Personal attributes should be at the top along with a brief introduction. 3 or 4 sentences should be long enough, but dont go more than a paragraph.
