I would ask why there isn't a nonbreaking space between "Adobe" and "Illustrator".
I can't think of a single instance where I made a hire/no-hire decision based on a resume. The resume indicates that they're sufficiently interested/skilled in the kind of work we do to give an interview, and gives me an idea of specific things to talk about during that interview. That's all.
You could write "I implemented a Lisp compiler for StrongARM. Berkeley CS, 2002" on a polaroid of your cat, and I'd give you an interview. But Initech is probably going to be different.
