Nauti I have no clue what type job you are looking for but if you want to look at my resume you are more than welcome to. Just shoot me a pm. I had our career services lady help me with mine when I graduated from college and I have just updated it as needed and let her correct it when I messed up lol.

Guess it may help if I told you my resume is directed towards financial services.

Nauti,

Send me your email addy (I know I had it but I think that was a couple of computers ago) and I will send you a copy of mine. It hasn't been updated for a few years, but it has served me well.

I have looked over a few in my days as well and all I can tell you is to keep it simple and too the point. No fluff necessary.

Give me a few minute's person to person, I can tell if I want that person around or not. I guess times have really changed. How about the guy that has ton's of great experience, but isn't very eloquent on paper? Just wondering. Frank
Unfortunately alot of hiring anymore is done through an HR dept and the first step to seeing them is your resume. All the jobs Ive had before basically were done just the way you mentioned, I was able to meet either the boss or someone he or they trusted and things went from there. Sometimes it works that way but more and more it doesnt.
