Side note: I have been told by the person in charge of recruiting at my company that explicitly stating references as "available on request" is really unnecessary, and just takes up space. Obviously your references should be available upon request if they aren't on there.
Other tips:
- Avoid using italics, it apparently can cause problems if someone tries to scan your resume and have a machine read it.
- Keep things left-aligned as much as possible, so someone quickly glancing down doesn't have to jump across the page on every line of the resume (this is actually similar to web design, in that you can assume the reader will spend a very minimal amount of time reading your resume unless they quickly find something they like)
