To reiterate Stephen's point, when I had to go through resumes, I would toss
any one where I found a typo regardless of skills.

Also, I always make my resume available online so people can look at as they
choose (http://resume.savian.net).

Finally, there are different types of resumes. A consultant resume is
different than an employee resume: it depends on what you are trying to
achieve. A consultant resume needs to include a skill set listing as well as
recent work.

Two pages should be enough for anyone unless you have many publications.

Having hired many people, make sure you convey important value points on the
first page (why would I hire you and what do you seek), ensure there are
noooo tyyypppos or poor grammar (a killer), and highlight why you are right
for the position you are applying for...  It is much better to send out your
resume 5 times tailored to the position than 50 times in a generic format.

Best of luck!
