Name, contact info, work/professional experience, education, and related skills are a must. But within those categories, don’t be afraid to question the best method of delivery. For instance, contact info should definitely include a phone number, but an address may not be necessary if you’re weary of protecting your privacy or are nervous that your location could negatively affect your resume.
