Don't list all experience.

Avoid listing experience more than 15 years old. Emphasize your most recent positions. Include awards and affiliations relevant to the position for which you are applying.

Don't use smaller than 11 point font.

Business resumes need to be one side of one page unless you have more than 15 years experience in which case a second page is acceptable. Use black ink on white paper.

Don't hide your abilities or attributes.

Illustrate abilities and attributes used during the past 10 to 15 years. Use examples to show how well you performed.

Be careful about Facebook.

You will be judged by who you have as friends. Create a professional Linkedin Profile. Use a pleasant picture that features you -- not family members.

Don't date degrees.

Leave dates off degrees if earned more than 20 years ago. Special training that pertains to the job is more important so list it here.
