I think it is industry/point in career dependent, but some good rules of thumb: Do not use MS word templates Start with education if you are a fresh grad Start with last place you worked, or are currently working Use bullets to denote major things you were responsible for… And did. There are lots of resources on the internet for this. Go to your school and ask them for a sample resume. Email me (my email is my hn name at gmail) and I’ll send you an example. I was hired by Intel Corp (finance) and currently work at a prestigious finance company.
