Quite frankly, I think these issues have to do with the quantity of
resumes you see, and how you approach the matter.

I've seen people reading resumes carefully, and taking some time with
each of them. In these cases, paying attention to detail really pays
back.

I have also seen people reading resumes diagonally and putting some
aside simply because that first look hadn't ring any bells. In these
cases, bolding the keywords and other such tricks are what pays back.

Just my two cents, anyway, :-)
