It is not advisable to include in your resumes a "personal section", or personal statistics (except in special cases), salary information, reasons for leaving jobs or any political or controversial issues with employers.

Some of the things to remember:

1. Don't include anything controversial, political
2. Place the most important information on the first line or paragraph since it is read the most
3. Use bold letters in writing your name, section headings (to organize information), titles, degrees (if impressive) to set it off from the rest of the text
4. Put your name on top of each page of your resume
