- Edit your resume for each role that you apply to. You don't know how many resumes I get for XYZ developer that don't have language XYZ in their resume at all.

- The perfect resume shows that you held nice long positions with very small or no gaps.

- Make it sound like you were somebody important in these positions. Make it feel like you made decisions for the company that were important.

- Side projects are always nice. Shows that you have an interest in your field.

- Leading or line height is good for readability.

- If your resume is more than one page then it better be very impressive and really need to be that long.

- Design is always a plus in everything you do, but can hurt you if done incorrectly.

- Have a few people review your resume for typos.
