I'd put focus on your experience and achievements. Who you worked for and how did proved your worth to them. I don't consider qualifications to be a great turning point, they're all theory rather than practical, experience far outweighs them in my view. | |||

I agree with @Adam_Gibbins: focus on experience and achievements, though for nontechnical-hr-person reasons, short 'skills' and 'tools' sections are helpful in making sure you have their keywords on your resume. References are also good, though it's always acceptable to put a 'references available upon request' line at the bottom. | |||

If you have a long, solid history, concentrate on all of your value-adds, successes and key decisions you made that helped the company's bottom line. | |||

I'd always start with what you do and how that benefits your organisation - from a professional perspective nothing is worth knowing if it doesn't benefit those that pay you - put your value front and centre. | |||
