As someone who has conducted a lot of interviews and read even more resumes, there is no single good answer here. Some of my peers would pour over resumes for hours. Others would look for specific items (a technology, a company, a school). Others would almost completely ignore the resume. Some companies I've worked at would have HR pre-vet resumes, getting rid of ones that didn't have some magical combination of keywords. Sadly your resume is going to have to survive encounters will all of these people. I will list one personal pet peeve: do not put anything on your resume that you cannot have an intelligent five-minute conversation about. "That was a long time ago, I kind of forget the details" doesn't cut it--if you forgot the details, it doesn't feel like it's part of your current skillset and thus doesn't belong on the resume.
