Contact Information: In addition to the traditional phone number, address, and email—we suggest adding either your personal web page or your LinkedIn profile.
Experience: Under this section, it is important to boast specific stats as well as mentioning specific groups, committees, and online networks you are a significant member of. Keep it relevant, but get them in there.
Proficient In: Don’t just settle for “Internet savvy,” instead list the specific platforms you have worked with, especially spotlighting any rich media applications you are familiar with.
