Some words of caution:
Tell us where you were and what you did on each contract/job.
Tell us when you were on each contract/job.
Tell us how you did the work (i.e. tools, languages, and hardware) on each contract/job.
We will spell and grammar check the document, but it makes a much better impression if you do it first.

We had a comment recently that we should "hire people, not paper". The writer told us that we were asking too much of our applicants in that they should not have to write a "perfect" resume. We do not insist on "perfect" resumes. If we did, none of us would ever get hired ... since there is no such thing as a perfect resume. What we do ask is that you exercise some care in the preparation of your resume. It is easy to use a spell checker/grammar checker and the results, while not "perfect", make a better impression.
Then, when you are all finished and your resume is a finely polished jewel, send it to Human Resources.
