Do we need to add our Personal Details in the Resume. If yes, what are the limitations and where to mention it (is it in the beginning or at the end)

Also do declaration is important for Resumes

I came know that Resumes should start with the Name and not the words like "Resume" or "Curriculam vitae". Is it true?

Personal details aren't required in the US or Canada but they may be important in other countries.
The resume should start with your name and contact information.
