A few general ideas that can apply to most professions:
1. The one-page resume is dead. Those were all the rage in the '90s, but today, employers want to know more about a candidate. If you have relevant information, flesh out the resume with it. Don't skimp on the info just to fit some arbitrary one-page limitation.
2. Zero tolerance for typos. Misspellings, grammatical errors, etc., give the impression that you are not detail-oriented. It sounds petty, but if a hiring manager has five resumes for one position, it's easy for that person to weed those out in the first round.
3. Leave out the "objectives" paragraph. This is better conveyed in a cover letter, which can be tailored to the employer and job at hand. Besides, they know what your immediate objective is--to get the job!
4. Sell yourself and what you have accomplished. Be descriptive with prior jobs. Use gerunds (action verbs) to better describe your role. Even if your last job was working the bottom rung at the local car wash, show on paper why that car wash found you to be a valuable employee and describe the professionalism you applied there.
5. Write a good cover letter to go with the resume and to personalize your contact with the company. Express how that company would be better off with you than without you. Be careful to downplay the things "you want." Instead, show some knowledge of the company and its needs. State your goals, but let them know what you bring to the table and how that will fit in with the needs they have.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
