One unanswered question that I have around resumes is how to represent work done as a contractor or consultant for another company. I've seen everything from making it look like you were employed by the customer directly (obviously bad) to intentionally vague descriptions of the company such as "fortune 500 defense contractor" and every variation in between.
My favorite was a candidate that described consulting with "large internet search engine company based in Mountain View, CA".
Even when I worked at a consulting firm, there were huge variances in how folks would represent themselves on both internal and external resumes.
