1. Profile : Prepare for the clear and simple photograph, and describe our self in a short paragraph

2. Contact : Mail address, mobile phone number and formal name of email address, sometimes we just ignore little part of our email names, to prevent make a people laugh, we try make a new email name with gentle one

3. Experience : Users not look of how many company already work with, but will look how we work in the job. So we try to write down one or two job that makes interest for the user and describe our duties and responsibilities.

4. Education : Beside formal education we also can add non formal education to show we are enthusiasm learner

5. Skills : Write the skill that needed by company we apply, and be brave to show how expert we are

6. Award : Dont worry if we dont have winning award we can write as participant some competition or just ignore it

7. Interest : This part sometimes become final decision from the users, if the boss have same kind of interest, lucky of you :)

8. Portfolio : We need to promote our-self with the projects has been done, this become a good method to tell them with highlight preview only and short paragraph of description to make it curious things and let them call you to ask "Would you come to our office to describe your project", nicely work :)

We can create more list of needs, but remember everyday users read hundred applicant so don't make them tired
