what do you look for in a resume?
icey: I look for things that are directly applicable to the posting I have up.I dislike seeing filler like "SVN", or "Word". I hate it when people list every piece of software they've ever touched. Tell me what's relevant and I'll assume that's not the full corpus of your computer using career.Here is a snippet of something I pulled out of a random  resume from my 'rejected' file:  MS Office, DOS, Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista
  HTML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, ASP/ASP.Net, C#, 
  VB/VB.Net, AJAX, JAVA, SQL


This was for a C# gig. I don't care at all about Windows 3.1. Or MS office for that matter.
