  1. Relevance – How relevant is your experience to the position’s job description.  Every job description that I have ever seen has a requirements section.  This may sound harsh but if you do not meet the requirements then do not apply.  You are just wasting everyone’s time (including your own).  If you do match the requirements, make sure that your resume clearly displays that.  This may mean that you have to make some changes and customize your resume for each position you are applying for.  The best resumes will actually mirror what is asked for in the job description.
  2. Results – If you are just writing about your responsibilities then you are only telling half the story.  Should I assume that you are mediocre and have not accomplished anything significant in your career.  If that is not the case then tell me that in your resume.  Including your accomplishments and recognition is an absolute must.  Companies are not looking to hire warm bodies these days.  They want people who can demonstrate a history of success and could bring immediate results to their next position
  3. Appearance - How your resume looks is as important as the content.  Are you using a modern format or does it look like your resume is from the 1970’s?  Are there typos or grammatical errors?  The job market is way to tight right now for you to just through your resume together.

If you read this far then chances are you are job hunting and looking to improve your resume.
