I was complemented on it by everyone despite the fact that there wasn't really anything terribly impressive on it. The thing about resumes is that they're not supposed to make the case for hiring you. They're supposed to jump out at an interviewer and say "HEY! I'M WORTH SPENDING TIME ON!"<br><br>Thus, don't worry so much about the details. Try to make your resume have one (or preferably several) "killer features". And also make sure that your resume *isn't* really screaming "HEY! DON'T HIRE ME".<br><br>Now, when interview time comes, *then* worry about the details. In the past, I wrote a resume in Python.

What makes a good developer resume is not the form (what you are asking), but the content. If someone asked me that, I'd say: stop worrying about that stuff, and try to fill yourself with knowledge so that it doesn't matter so much. Write interesting stuff in your resume, that's it. Form doesn't matter much. It doesn't matter much to me after all. In my opinion, you are asking all the wrong questions.
