I just reviewed over 100 resumes in hiring an assistant and here are my take-aways: Keep it around 1 page - don't try to blow your experience out of proportion because it's pretty transparent. Make sure your formatting is pleasant and readable. Personally, I find the "objective" heading that some people put at the top of their resume really lame. Like, of course I know that you're trying to 'develop your communication skills in an entry level position' or you wouldn't be applying. They are usually overly-broad and highly canned. It's a little off-topic, but also pay attention to your cover letter. Sometimes I would not even open a resume attachment if the cover letter was generic or contained typos.
