1. Is the phrase "References Available On Request" printed on your résumé?
2. Do you include a "Career Objective" statement on the document?
3. Are you a professional who lists your education before your experience?
If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, your résumé could be outdated.
To bring your qualifications up to the present, delete any reference to references. For maximum impact with hardcopy submissions, type professional references on matching letterhead and paper and submit with your qualifications package.
Next, replace the "Career Objective" statement with a small paragraph describing your best characteristics and attributes as they apply to the job in question.
Last but not least, experience should always appear ahead of education for those in workforce more than one year.
These simple steps could very well make your document appear 10 to 20 years younger!

I have 32 years experience post college. How many years/jobs should one include on their resume? I moved around a lot during years ~8-20.
