What are some of the best resume tips and pointers? How can I make my resume stand out?

Don't worry about making it long most employers dont even read the whole resume, they browse for keywords and skills they are looking for. Say if you writing a resume for a IT job, after all the basic information just start listing your knowledge of what you are applying for... for example a IT job applicant would put microsoft office, microsoft windows xp/2000/vista, red hat linux, unix, cisco routers, VPN, tcp/ip configuration, WAN, LAN ... etc etc etc make like a half a page list of whatever you know in the field you are applying for... good luck
