I've gone over my resume hundreds of times. While I'm sure that's an exaggeration, I feel that I have refined my resume to a pretty good point. Yes, there will be always room for improvements and tweaking, I look at it and feel that it's what I'd like to see if I was a hiring manager. The real killer for me is the cover letter.
There are tons of websites out there with samples, templates, tips and recommendations. However, when you take the summation of them all, it seems like if anyone's resumes and letters would start sounding horribly bland. Forgive me, but I'd hate to be on the receiving end of hundreds of "I want to work here because I'm an excellent worker" That maybe true, but your "I'm a great employee" sounds like this other guy's "I'm a great employee". That's why I'm committed to write my cover letters the way that I think and speak. It may not be traditional, but at least I think it'll make me standout and I hope that it'll match me to a like minded employer.
