This is how a CAD engineer resume is written. Observe how the above resume has been divided into various sections. These are adding clarity to the entire flow of it, thus making it easier to find and comprehend the information. Apart from this, there are certain tips that must be kept in mid while writing a resume- you must at all times, proofread your resume at least twice before sending it to the recruiter for his reference. This helps in eliminating any errors in the entire draft; one must keep the length of the resume short (restricted to two pages at max) because a lengthier resume will take a lot of time and the recruiter usually don't have so much time to spare on just one resume as he has got a number of other resumes to go through; last but not the least, include your full name along with the complete address and contact details so that the recruiter can contact you in case he needs to. You can add your telephone number and email id for this purpose. These details must be included in the beginning of the resume.
