Solid info above.
Another quick tip is to make sure to keep in mind key words. A lot of times HR, managers, or headhunters will zoom in on key words on a resume or CV. Because of that it pays to read the job description very carefully. Are there any skills that they seem to be emphasizing? Even if you're shotgunning resumes it doesn't take much time to change a word here and there. Since I don't know what field your in, it's hard to give specific examples.
About 25% of employers use software to search for keywords. I got a hack for this too. Feel free to PM.
Also, always keep a journal of what you do at work. That way you don't forget important bullets to put in your resume. And it should growing as your career does.
