Correct spelling
Conciseness - don't include a bunch of stuff that isn't relevant.
Tailor your bullet points (experience, accomplishments) around the job you are applying for. For instance - if you are applying for a computer job, nobody cares if you like to fly fish, or took German for 3 years in college.
If you are just starting out (recent college grad), start with your education credentials (including relevant class). Then list your job experience. Follow with a bulleted list of programs/equipment/etc you have used that is important in your career.
DON'T list references on your resume.

There are many variations of professional resumes. You may want to tailor one to the career you are interested/trained in. In other words, if you have an art degree, try searching the internet for examples of art resumes/Curriculum Vitaes.
Of course, you could always start with the basics:
Your name and contact information center at the top.
Profile or Summary of your resume (what you are looking for in a career). Then list your skills set. Be sure to reference all of your related education and any particular awards or honors relating to the same. A chronology of your professional work experience relating to your desired career (or if you don't have any list your work history in general).
Try as hard as you can to keep it to one page as lengthy resumes tend to bore some employers.
A great website to check out is listed below. It's the tutorial/workshop for writing resumes fro Purdue University.
Good luck!

Spell check. Companies hate it when people don't bother to edit their resumes.
Good format. Set it up the way the application states or make it easy for the employer to flip through it.
...and more that I can't remember at the moment.

Make it one page, simple, to the point.
List things according to what is more important whether that be the experience first or the schooling.
make sure to put all contact info and spell check is very important.

Spelling like everyone said. When you describe your work experience don't tell me the job description tell me what you did at the job where did you succeed.
