Dump your old resume and start out fresh.  A clean slate will help you produce a better document than just editing an exisiting resume. 

Target your documents to a specific function.  If you are unsure what direction you want to take your career, hire a coach to clarify your career objectives. 

While writing, think like a hiring executive.  What traits, skills and achievements would you look for to fill the vacant position?  Those are the traits, skills and achievements that need center stage on your resume.

Integrate keywords into your document.  Research job postings to identify terms critical to your industry and position. 

Revise your documents frequently.  Customize them for each opportunity, playing up qualifications noted in the job listing.

Cut the fluff.  Resumes and cover letters should be short, sweet and to the point.  Stick to your most marketable information, trimming items that have no relevance to your current job search.

Proofread, proofread, proofread.  Errors send an unprofessional image.  Utilize spell check, but don't solely rely on it.  Read your resume and cover letter out loud.  Better yet, have someone else review it for you.

Write an achievement-driven resume vs. a resume that just addresses job responsibilities.  Basic responsibilities can be assumed from job titles.

Communicate your personal brand.  Let your reader know your core strengths, talents and values.  Your brand should be consistent across all of your job search documents as well as integrated into your interview dialogue.

Quantify your achievements whenever possible.  Show numbers in their numeric form as opposed to writing out the words.  Numbers capture attention quicker and draw the eye to your best accomplishments.

Put your best, most relevant achievements at the top of your resume.  As readers scan from top to bottom they'll see your value-add immediately.  Don't forget the 30-second rule - reviewers spend an average of just 30 to 40 seconds evaluating your resume.

Keep it real.  Never lie on a resume.  Make sure you can defend anything and everything you have on your resume.

Always keep a resume with you and have a 30-second "elevator speech" ready.  You never know when an opportunity will present itself. 

Send a personal, hand-written thank you note after your interviews.  It sets you apart from other candidates and reminds them you are still interested in the position.

Track your job search campaign.  Keep notes on who you sent your resume to, when you sent it and which resume you sent. List any correspondonce you receive in return.  Make a follow-up schedule and stick to it.

Create a list of core competencies.  This allows readers to quickly scan your skills to see if you are a fit for the position, plus it will help with a keyword search.

Only include descriptions of the companies you have worked for if they help you in your current job search.

List relevant professional associations and volunteer work.

Focus primarily on the past 10 years of experience.  We live in a very "what-have-you-done-for-me-lately" world.  Older experience is important and should be noted, but the majority of your resume should be dedicated to the recent past.

Use a bulleted format.  This is easier on the eye and allows the reader to quickly scan the document for pertinent information.

Omit unnecessary words and be concise in your writing.  Extra words take up valuable real estate and detract from your brand.  Secondarily, a concisely written resume communicates an efficient mindset and hence worker.

Develop content that sells you.  Use action verbs to deliver your message.  Don't overuse the same word over and over.  Dust off your thesaurus to get some fresh ideas.

Utilize a resume format that works best for your situation.

Leave out personal information such as hobbies, marital status, children, scholarships, your age, etc.

Develop an attention-getting design.  Aesthetics are important.  Your resume should be attractive and be a balance of words and white space.  Use graph lines to give the eye a place to rest and to signal a change in format.
