The resume should most certainly not be about your technical skills.

A professional resume starts with your name at the top, the first section may be a Qualifications Summary or may be a Core Competencies section where you give an overview of your profile. Then, unless you are a new graduate, the next section should be of your Professional Experience, then Community Service, and ending with Education. If you are a new graduate, Education can immediately follow Professional Experience on the resume, but most professionals prefer Eduation to be at the end.
Good luck with HEC's pre-screening, Sachin!

Thanks Jennifer...
But, one more query...there is 1 section where we need to upload resume, write details abt roles & responsibilities in company, evoolution within company etc, another 1 section to write details abt international exposure and one more to write things like community service, hobbies, extra curriculars, sports and stuff...
I feel that most of things from the other 2 sections wud be repeated in the resume....How do I make it different ?
