Making your resume easy to read is the very first step. Remember no interviewer would like to spend 30 minutes reading your 10 page resume. Besides, list your accomplishments that are relevant to the job you apply for, i.e. customize your resume to meet the needs of different employers instead of using the same resume all the time.
