To make a good resume you have got to choose the best temperate. This should be the starting point. There are internationally and professionally recognized temperate that is to say different professions may have different suitable temperate.

Choose the best font
Take a look at the type, size and color of the font used since some times some fonts can be un professional and the moment you use such font you resume may be very complicated for both managers and even soft wares management systems. A good sample resume should have simple font and easy to read. Some times you may need to use bigger and bold font for sub headings or even you may use a different color for the headings to make then different from the rest of the content.

Include contact information
Contact information is a vital part since employers may need to contact the person applying for the position. Contact information such as name, address, zip, contact number and email address should be part of a good sample resume. These should be one of the very fast things in the chronology of your resume because it will be simple for the employer to trace them in case they want to contact you. If this information is not included you may apply and apply as a fool with out answer so be wise.

Linking key words
It is very important to include key words that link to those highlighted in the in the job descriptions. This increases your chances and puts your resume at an advantage over the others that may not know this. When choosing a sample resume first look at what the employer wants to hear and make sure your resume links to that. For example if the employer is looking for some one who can work on a night shift please try to show your experience in some thing related to the description.

Correct content arrangement.
Make sure priority content comes first such that your most recent experience is listed first with your key achievements. Sample resumes should interest the employer and employers are most interested in where you worked recently because even you could have forgotten the skills you applied last ten years. Just start with your recent information and believe me it’s what employers look at mainly.
