What would be a good resume?

What are the good ways to prepare a resume with 2-3 years experience in IT industry? what should be the content?

• I have 3 years experience as a Technical consultant. This is my first job. I wonder how to impress a recruiter? With the experience I have, I can only prepare a "1-page" resume without any nonsense filled in it. One of the recruiter came back asking for a detailed resume, as he thought it's just a summary. I have used Latex document preparation system for my resume.

• Answer:

  I am not a resume expert, but usually one page resume is fine and that is the one you should normally use. From my experience shorter resumes are better, for long resumes interviewer/recruiter loose focus while reading. In your case, if HR is asking, create a 2-3 page resume explaining your projects. Also, it could be the case that your resume really looks like a summary. So, you might want to change your resume to a better looking single page resume. Take help of your friends and colleagues. If need be take professional help. I have never used LaTeX. But I think any editor or markup language is fine, if your resume looks good. My own resume lies in one-and-a-half page. I used following  http://www.thegoogleresume.com/uploads/6/5/2/8/6528028/gayle_laakmann_-_business_resume.doc by Gayle Laakmann. Though I changed section ordering and formatting a bit. But rest of the ordering and presentation looks the same. I think, among many on Internet, this template is very good for reference.
