The resume should include:

1. Professional designations/credentials, including dates received
2. Diploma/degree details including start and graduation dates
3. Relevant experience for last 10 to 15 years
4. Employer name and full correspondence details
5. (if applicable) 2 - 3 paragraphs about your current management of people and/or projects. (In order to be considered for the Senior Professional (which is focused on leadership and management), they will require more information.)
