I would add to this... don't over qualify yourself out of a job. I've skipped over resumes after reading them and thinking the candidate either was legitimately over qualified, or they thought they were. It also can end up reading like you want the job after the job you are actually applying for. That posiotion might be in your long term sights, but you have to pay your dues.
Write the resume to sound a little bit like you talk. If you dont know what a word means avoid it. Use industry language where appropriate.
These are just my own opinions from having to hire people.
