For Example

Project Name:
Client:
Domain:
Tools Used:
Description:
Responsibility:

If i Used this format for 10 projects means, it will goes more than 5 pages.

What is the best format for adding a projects in the resume. Maximum How many pages resume should be?

I want to see best format Software Resume? Any Links.

+2  A: 

In short - the best format is to not add those projects at all. Keep your resume to 2 pages - perhaps 3 if you really have lots of experience. As I recruiting manager I rarely look at all the projects. Pick only what's relevant to the job you want to be doing (or are applying for) and focus on your achievements and strengths.

Probably, describe the most significant and responsible jobs in details and the rest just in brief.

Project Name, Client, /n Description

A: 

The rule of thumb I was always told is that you may have one page for every 10 years of work experience. If you find yourself going over that, you should seriously consider listing your experience by employer rather than by project. That is sort of the norm anyway.

If you've been in the industry for 50 years, you probably are far to wise to need my poor advice. :-)

A: 

I'm going to assume from the context that you're a new/about to graduate, with little or no practical experience. If this is correct, you're rightly concerned that your resume will not get the attention of the hiring manager. This may or may not be correct, depending on where you apply. If you apply to a large company like Microsoft that has an active college recruiting program, they'll have ways to help you get your skills in front of the hiring managers. These programs are relatively rare, though.

If you want to make sure that your projects are presented to the hiring managers, briefly describe them in the cover letter. Say something like "Significant projects during my senior year included development of a socket-based distributed FiddlyTwiddle in C#." If the project is of interest to the hiring manager, you will be asked about it, and in far more depth than you can cover in a description like you've suggested.

Think carefully about your cover letter and the projects you want to include there. Create a one-sentence summary that gives enough information for a hiring manager to understand the core principals and concepts you were demonstrating.
