What all should one include in a resume?
Other than basic info such as name and contact details, whatever you think will help you get the interview call. The
secret lies in understanding what is it (a skill or an experience) that a particular employer is looking for and then
customize your resume to highlight that aspect of your credentials and profile well.
Read the job or internship description carefully to understand what skills does it demand and then write your resume. For example, if the role requires knowledge of Java programming while majority of your projects have been in PHP and only 1 or 2 in Java; for this role you are better off highlighting your Java projects over PHP - because that is what would attract the employer.

Remember not to inflate your resume with irrelevant and unnecessary details .
