SO original: nice colors and background, a great way to highlight your educational background.

Make each section of your resume short, but dense with information. Since most resumes are scanned for only 10-30 seconds, it’s important that all the key content of your CV is written in a well-structured and straight forward lay out. Most readers will lose interests once they reach a fifth line of text and still don’t get a self-contained message to take away from it. To get over this obstacle, make each section of your resume short, but substantive. Breakdown complex sections into smaller, bit-sized paragraphs no more than five lines long.
