I think a key is to try and stand out in the crowd. A cool online resume (that can be public or private) would be a great way to do this. VisualCV.com gives job seekers a free way to do this. But, you have to avoid the mistakes Scoble talks about, regardless of format. Full disclosure: I work there but it's a great tool for job seekers. -Pierce Scoble picks up on many common mistakes in his post. I think a key is to try and stand out in the crowd.

Here's another one...resumes full of fluff words such as good communicator, team player, detail oriented... with no proof of these attributes...gag!!! Resumes need to focus on accomplishments and impact to be taken seriously. Spot on!
