*  Does it emphasize your strengths?
*  It is complete?  sincere?  honest?
*  Is it concise?  appropriate?
*  Is information relevant?
*  Does it look neat?  Is there sufficient "white" space?
*  Are spelling and grammar correct?
*  Have you shown your significant personal accomplishments?
*  Have you shown your major accomplishments in college?
*  Does it show how you stand out as better and different from others 
   who may be competing for the same job?
*  Can a stranger skim it in 45 seconds and know the important information 
   about you?
