4 - quadruple check it to make sure you have ZERO spelling/grammar mistakes
5 - try to make ur past experiences geared towards the industry/field you're going into (education)
this is all pretty much basic common sense. the problem is a lot of people just dont follow it.
p.s. - ALWAYS send a follow up email/call after each interview.

yeah, i remember those pointers and will make sure i stick w/ it
i guess i'm also concerned about how to format all the information and to what degree i need to make it aesthetically pleasing
aside from a "header" with maybe your name and contact info, did you ever start w/ something like a "Profile" section that's like a quick paragraph describing yourself, which is then followed by stuff like Education and Employment History in bullet-form? cuz that's what my old one looks like
h: trying to figure out whether i should "introduce" myself somehow like that or not
