Résumé help

["Karen E. Black" <kblack_text -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

"COVER LETTER: I saw your recent employment ad online and might be exactly 
the person you're looking for. I want this job. I've been looking for a job 
for a long time and am desperate to find a place where I can hang my hat, 
lose my umbrella, and apply my writing skills to a dynamic and 
forward-looking teem."

I've agreed to help a cow-orker punch up his résumé (he's a programmer, with 
exceptional potential in a number of IT fields). I've done the requisite 
Google searches and found the same-old, same-old. Besides tailoring the 
achievements for the posted job, refining the goal statement, avoiding 
buzzwords, and the T-letter to cover requirements, can anyone give me some 
up-to-date tips on contents, formatting, and so on?

I'll spring for a virtual beer...

The standard of behavior we exhibit during emergencies is not scary; on the 
contrary. It is a demonstration of how pleasant life can be when people 
treat one another courteously.
