I recently took part in the hiring process at a large company. I think the main purpose of the resume is to get you on to the shortlist. You basically need to look at the requirements and try to match their keywords. When the HR guy is looking at 100+ resumes and need to whittle it down to 5~10 for interviews, you know they're not reading it in depth. Make your resume scannable, and eliminate fluff as much as possible. After that, it's all about the written/phone tests and the interview process.
