What needs to be in the application resume

First, happy Thanksgiving to everybody.
I hope you are enjoying the day and not all slaving away on applications today like me.
So far I have seen lots of little tips of do's and don't, but no comprehensive description of what you are supposed to have in your resume, or with what format. I am sure others beside myself would like something more cohesive like this, so below I share an outline of what I know and don't know about what needs to be on the resume. I would much appreciate anyone else adding to this, especially successful applicants or consultants that have been through this a few times:
Name
-Address, phone, and email contact information
Summary/objective?
(Honestly I don't know if this should be included. I know you need it for a job, it seems a little redundant, but I have found examples both with and without this. Advice on this would be appreciated)
Experience
(this should come first as far as I understand, unless you are fresh out of college.)
-company (time/duration of work)
-job title
- bullet points that show actual accomplishments in numbers and how you got them done(showing rather than telling), as well as company recognition/promotion
Education
- school you went too (date of graduation)
- degree and major
- gpa and any recognition offer by school
- extracurricular activities (at least if you had a leadership position), and any involvement i business plan competitions. just a pullet point.
Other
- languages
- hobbies/interest
((Things I am not sure weather to include))
Internships taken while in college (unless of course you have no other work experience)
Volunteer Activity
((Again I'm no sure weather this should be in the resume, or just in the application info))
I would appreciate any feedback, especially on weather to include a summary/objective, the volunteer activity stuff, and internships.
Again, happy thanksgiving and remember to keep it under one page (the resume I mean)
