I'm e-mailing a copy of my resume so you can see how I implemented some of these suggestions (many of them I received from an HR manager years ago).

Drop "responsible for" and stated recommended, repaired, etc. Responsible for is a phrase HR managers skip over.

Put your job titles in the same line as employer, year, etc.

Bullet-point your resume. HR managers will find what they are looking for much more easily. I like starting my bullet points with highlighted keywords (Equipment Purchase, System Maintenance, etc.).

Make sure you use a good quality paper. Don't use bright white (actually is harder to read) or ivory (everyone uses that to stand out). I've actually used a light blue high quality paper and gotten rave reviews from interviewers.
