Some Important Resume preparation tips
* Don't overcrowd your resume; allow for plenty of white space.
* Keep your resume to one page whenever possible.
* Keep the number of fonts you use to a minimum -- two at the most.
* Use a font that is easy to read. Times Roman works well.
* Do not justify the lines of type on your resume. Allow the right side of the page to "rag."
* Do not overuse capitalization, italics, underlines, or other emphasizing features.
* Make sure your name, address, and a phone number appear on your resume and all correspondence, preferably at the top of the page.
* Print your resume on white or cream paper using a good-quality printer.
* Second- and third-generation photocopies must be avoided
* Print on one side of the paper only.

Piling everything into a resume is going to result in them skipping over the important parts and getting the bad stuff...* Don't overcrowd your resume; allow for plenty of white space.

Keeping it simple and straight to the point is the best way to go. Don't piss em off by wasting their time and yours.
