Yahoo had an interesting article about what is “in” and what is “out” when creating a professional resume. To quote the article “Fashion changes, and resume styles change, too. If you have solid skills and work experience but your resume isn’t getting any bites, you might need a resume makeover.”

To summarize the article:
- Include a “Professional Summary” on the top of the resume instead of an “Objective”
- Make it easy on the eyes
- Customize the resume for the job
- One-page resumes are a myth
- Quantify your accomplishments
- Include website links to previous employers and possibly a brief description of them
- Include LinkedIn or other social networking site links at the top of the resume
