What makes a resume stand out from the pack?

i am writing a resume and have never written one before. i have a template i got from microsoft word but i was just wondering what type of things really catch an employeers eye. i am going against 6 other people for this internship and i really want it. what makes a resume "really good" (besides obvious things like correct grammer and puncuation, etc) i really want to stand out from the group because we all have job experience and the same education ( we go to the same college)..please help

p.s should i write about skills learned through personal experiences (example: my mother died when i was 13 so i had to help my dad raise my 7 year old sister) i dont want to look like im trying to tug their heartstrings or influence them because i went through it but i did learn alot of skills during that time and learned alot through losing her so young

Choose a format that is pleasing to the eye and not too crowded. Don't mess around with your fonts a lot. Keep it consistent. Use things like bold and italics sparingly (only for accenting purposes)!

Whatever you do, *don't* do any of these:

-use colored paper

-use scented paper

-use overly large font

-use "fancy" cursive fonts

-use 20 different fonts

-create more than one page of text

-lie!

-be overly wordy, keep it brief; you can expand on it during your interview

-talk about anything but your relevant work history; skills like typing and computer knowledge are fine, child care isn't (unless that's the job you're trying to get)

Hope this helps you.

Draw a penis on the cover.

Ok seriously, I don't really know what makes a resume stand out, but I do know what not to do. Dont' do that p.s. thing, nobody wants to hear about your past. You shouldn't even be using complete sentences on a resume. It's basically an inventory of your assets related to the job.
The transmitting cover letter is what separates the wheat from the chaff. Be sure to run a spell check if you want your grammer right.
I used GigTide.com in the past. It has a cool resume tracking feature and dashboard.
