Could someone give me the rules for writing a resume in a British way of presentation ?

What should be found in it (skills, experiences and sport ...) ?
How are placed the sections ?

Basically, the first part is about your work experiences which can be very detailed because this is the most important one in UK or in the USA. You can introduce your resume with a short sentence which explains your objective. Then, the second part would be the skills section where you explain what you are able to do. The thrid one is about your education (degrees) and your hobbies as the last part...
This is how I built mine according to some books and web sites...

.. I forgot the languages section between your education and your hobbies.. (some exemples : working knowledge, strong bases, fluent, bilingual, mother tongue)

Thanks. Well I see the mind now.

I have just put a glance at that page. It seems quite short. Isn't it?
A resume have to be written in one page maximum.

Well, it would be rather hard to shorten mine.

For the style direct and efficient.

I heard that it could more than one page in UK.. so go ahead if you've got many work experiences...

In the UK it's not common to have only one paper sheet for your resume! You could have 2 or 3 if necessary, but you must detail it.
