One idea would be to have code samples with an explaination of why you did things a certain way, or a write-up of how you designed a certain program.

Being able to show that you can communicate competently is also important - especially in a world where a lot of people can't do that.

As teammatt suggested it would be good to have these written things or samples of programming types as resource... Heres another example resume generated by my free-resume site, if you want a quick one done, don't hesitate to try it out...

I'm not an employer, but if I was, I'd probably be interested in your take on some aspects of programming. You should write a couple articles about some programming techniques or whatever to show that you know what you're doing and why. The most important thing would be what you've done so far (unless you are applying for something entry level). Links to the site that uses the program, or the source code or whatever would suffice I think.

The only programmer resume I've looked at was Shoemoney's programmer dillsmack. You might want to look at his resume and see what he's got in there. He seems like a successful dude.
