Resumes are a necessary evil. Most resumes I've ever looked at are an obituary. That is to say it tells what you have done in the past. What I want to know, if I am interviewing you is what are you going to do for me now. It can be hard to write a resume that fills in the info for each potential employer.
A better way is to see people in person and if they request a resume then ask them what they want to see in it and get it to them the next day. Craft it to fit their request. There is no doubt that you can't always do that but at least strive to.
Some common knowledge today is to be sure your resume contains specific info from the ad you may be responding too so if they are scanning you can at least be in the running.
Be sure you totally check for spelling and proper grammar.
