Are Awards worth mentioning on a resume?

Emurse gives users an option to add in awards and honors to their resumes, but which honors should you mention, and which are better left on the trophy shelf?

As an early-to-mid career person myself, I haven't quite amassed the trophy case I'm one day aiming for, but that doesn't mean I won't mention significant honors if they apply to the job. Once again, customization is key, making sure your audience (the potential employer) sees exactly what they expect as a smart, qualified applicant is key.

I've received some local honors from my time in Utah, but now that I'm competing for jobs in the Big Apple, I tend to leave any regional award that's not easily explained out. Obviously an award like "[Job Function] of the year" explains itself, but I find myself leaving out awards named for individuals, or given by specific companies that aren't so-called "boldface names" as they won't hold any substantial weight with a potential employer.

What's your take on awards? Do you use them as a leg-up on other potential candidates? Have you ever nabbed an interview based on a specific award you listed on a resume?
