I'm helping with some of the recruiting at my current job, so I'm going through some of the same job boards that I used before to look for contracts.
A few tips I can pass along:
- If you're going to post your resume on your own web site, make sure it stays up.
- If you want a Perl position, saying you have
...experience with Perl 5.6/5.8/6.0
isn't impressive, unless your name is Larry Wall.
- Similarly, saying you have
C#: 10+ years experience
doesn't reflect well either.
I did like the person who described themselves as a "dymanical" developer.

Man... could I tell you some stories...
:-)
There is at least one University in Portugal where students of computer science take classes on how to behave in an interview...
A common flaw is that none of them, in any University thoughout the country, seem to know anything about making resumes
:-) Many of them include the most irrelevant information, while others have trouble making their point...
Humm... I once started making some slides on that subject... I wonder where they are...
