That’s true! The ‘work samples’ part may vary from profession to profession, but if the field heavily relies on this (e.g., writing, or design) then this is very important.

Also, I’d like to add:
– Grad pictures are out. Actually, pictures in general. They’re for biodatas, not for resumes.
– When sending out resumes, sanitize your online identity, especially your MySpace/Facebook/Friendster accounts.
– If you’re sending out your resumes electronically, give it a descriptive filename. Don’t go for “myresume.doc.” Less chances of it getting lost.
– Don’t overdesign your resume. Some people actually go for full-color glossy prints — eugh!
