Oftentimes, a resume is the most cherished of all documents a person owns. It is held to high regard and defended from criticism vigorously. Since the information you place in your resume is a direct reflection of who you are personally. And as stated previously it is often difficult to portray and convey your idiosyncrasies in type form. Although the resume would be the last place to write that. It is important in your resume to be comprehensive about your details and aspects that would help you excel and show you in a better light than your peers, but it also important to strike a balance between being professional and boastful. Also, as tempting as the offer may be to 'pad' the resume with few minor details (Peace corp? Volunteer hours? Foreign languages?) it often comes back to haunt you. I have learned that the easy way might get you in, but you'll definitely leave the hard way in that case. However it does not hurt to talior the resume to the application request. If you are applying to a multi-national corporation, by all means list all the foreign languages you speak (even passably).
