The best resume format I've seen is this: list your job duties in a plain English paragraph or two without getting too verbose. Directly after that, stick all the keywords for that particular position in a box. Move on to the next position and do the same.

This way the mouthbreather HR folk that just run off dot-points and couldn't give a fuck get their keywords, and the folks next in line who want to understand what you actually did and can understand what you're talking about can hear you describe it in your own words (plus refer to keywords as necessary). Short, plain English paragraphs speak volumes as to your skill in communication and that is picked up by those who care (ie: not HR)
