| Resume Parts | Work experience
1. The best way to support your objective is to use experience that is related to seeking job. It doesn’t matter whether this experience has been paid or unpaid. You may describe here any experience in which you learned or demonstrated skills, knowledge or abilities that are related to the type of job you are seeking.
2. If you have also not-related experience, you may break this section into two different categories of "related" and "other".
3. It is worthwhile to indicate that you have work experience even not-related. In any case, this will show you are acquainted with basic work ethics and skills. Any work environment requires such characteristics as taking responsibility, working cooperatively with co-workers, customer service, time management, or other.
4. List your experiences in reverse chronological order within each category.
5. Provide each item with:
- the job title;
- name and location of organization;
- dates of employment (month / year);
- a short description of your accomplishments. It is recommended to use phrases not complete sentences.

Additional information
You can divide this section into some subcategories:
1. Special skills or competencies
Describe various skills you have, including foreign language skills, computer skills, laboratory skills etc. If you list skills of one type, the whole section may be headed "Computer Skills," or "Foreign Language Skills."
If you use a "skills resume format" skill headings are given, with bulleted lists of skills under each heading.
You can place skills section higher on your resume than other less-related sections, if you think your skills are more closely related to your career objective than other parts of your background.
2. Leadership experience
If you held offices or leadership positions, you may briefly describe your accomplishments. Specially emphasize the activities or skills that support your career objective. You may also indicate dates of leadership roles held.
3. Participation in sports.
References
There is no necessity include your reference information on your resume. It is better to prepare a reference list on a separate page. Before giving people’s names to a prospective employer, ask them if they are willing to serve as references.
