great post. you're right on the money with how important it is to clearly explain what you actually worked on.
i'm working on some statistical modeling of resumes that have come in to my company in the past year. surprisingly, thus far, providing git hub accounts, objective/mission statements, and links to personal site/past projects have only been minorly important.
by far the most significant indicator of success has been the keyword saturation of the resumes. by keyword saturation, i mean the number of languages/operating systems/tools/etc listed divided by the total word count. the lower this number, the better.
this may change as n grows, of course.
- leeny 14y agoi should also mention, another surprising feature that came out as significant was the flesch reading ease of the resume (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flesch%E2%80%93Kincaid_readability_test#Flesch_Reading_Ease http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flesch%E2%80%93Kincaid_readabil...)
