Even if not mentioned in the application requirements, it is a good idea to include a resume. The resume must be limited to one page, no matter how many achievements you have.
Here are some guidelines to improve your resume.
- Your name, email ID and phone number must be included at the top
- You should use simple and legible font, preferably size 11 or more. The contents should not look too crowded
- Avoid your country specific acronyms (read more here)
- List your achievements in reverse chronological order
- Avoid any achievement earlier than grade 10th, but focus mainly on your accomplishments while in college
- Divide the resume in different sections and have headings for each section
- Check your spellings
- Include a printout in black ink with your offline materials like the transcripts. Some online applications also allow you to upload extra documents

How about checking grammer.
I see lot of people put birth date, or citizenship in there resume.
or for that matter dads/moms name. I would recommend my other friends to avoid putting personal information. It should all academic and professionsal.
Few sample resumes will be very helpful. Take your time and put it in your blog.
Thanks for all your help!!!
