No 1. Clear out the clutter. Pretty obvious really, but people forget about it all of the time.

No 2. Know Your Audience.

No 3. Tell a compelling personal story. I'm not really sure where they are going with this one. They don't elaborate either.
-
No 4. Use sales tactics to sell yourself. Basically, use a lot of spin to mislead people. Got it.
-
No 5. Keep your resume fresh and updated. This falls into the "duh" category.
-
No 6. Don't Sell Yourself Short. Okay, mom.
-
No. 7 Don't lie.
-
No 8. Avoid information overload. This is a tough one for IT. There is just so much information to give!

No 9. Avoid buzzword burnout. I think doing the other stuff will do this one naturally.
-
No 10. Know how and when to break the rules.
-
No 11. Position your accomplishments for maximum impact.

Not bad, but things like 3 and 4 aren't really resume items. Those are more either cover letter and/or interview tips.
