It's important to stand out with an impressive resume, but who, or what, should you be trying to impress?
Most big companies use applicant tracking system (ATS)software to sift through online resume submissions. It's mainly used as an initial screening tool to analyse titles, dates and descriptions from resumes to evaluate a candidate's depth of experience (or rather, to see whether it's fit for human eyes).
See also the infographic about what you should be doing and more importantly, what you should definitely not be doing — to make your resume as robot-friendly as possible.
Some highlights: Do use keywords, or adjectives that describe your work ethic (conscious, driven, consciously driven, etc.) and stick to web-standard fonts like Arial or Tahoma. Do not use abbreviations or graphics, tables and headers/footers. Most ATS software won't be able to pick up the information.
