One thing I've learned in regards to content, is that you want to make sure you include your relevant technical qualifications and experience, but you need to do it in a very simple and concise way. Often, the front-line HR or manager types who look at your resume first don't know a lot of computer/industry specifics, so detailed lists of software and hardware knowledge are just going to look like gibberish to them. If you can get past that point, there'll likely be some kind of quiz or technical evaluation from the actual prepress department, so that's where you can really show off the depth of your knowledge.
I remember sitting nervously at an interview while the owner in his 60s spent about 10 minutes looking over the technical part of my resume, and then he looked up at me and said 'So what does all this mean, anyways?' :P I did get the job, but he was obviously taking it on faith that I knew what I said I knew as far as digital skills went.
