Having read through a bunch of resumes, I agree very much that less is more.
Use simple language and focus on the most relevant highlights.
It's exhausting to read through a wall of text about how someone "leveraged best-in-class synergistic value-add processes to elevate written communication instruments" when the actual task is that they picked a pencil up off the ground.
Another tip:
Find a way to talk to someone at the company of interest beforehand and ask what they need help with in the role. It's like getting the answer key, and it's a win-win situation. You can prepare and learn the most relevant things, and they get a prepared, relevant candidate.
