Resume Writing?

Can you give me some useful tips for writing a resume. I am applying for secretarial/clerical positions. There are plenty of resume templates online. However, some of the templates are simply black and white, while others are vivid and colorful. Which one should I choose. The colorful ones are more appealing, but I want the person who is reading my resume to think that I am serious about the job.

Please comment, especially if you are a boss, or have been through a similar dilemma.
