Suggestions:
Use a plain MS Word document, not a template. They do not upload well to company
websites. If you have trouble uploading, replace .doc with .txt in the title.
Stay to a page or page and a half, but be sure to list all relevant experience, paid or
unpaid.
Avoid personal data that the company cannot ask by law: religion, race, etc.
The Career Services web site offers many suggestions also:
