The resume is worthless without utilizing the right tools! I was trained to provide an "overview" with the resume presentation in order to draw the client's attention to the highlights. Whenever I can I use the same words/phrases to present my candidate the client used in describing what qualfications were needed. Write them down when first discussing the job with the client. When you use their words again in your presentation they won't remember having said exactly that.....but they will notice that you have presented exactly the type of person they need!
