Resume Tweaking for the job you want

First off this is a quick one. JUST WRITE GOOD AND EDIT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO MISTAKES. If your sentences are crappy or your spelling is bad then your statements about "attention to detail" and all those areas where you say you're GOOD seem to have less meaning. Hell sometimes it throws me so far off that I just give up on thinking in your direction. NEXT don't put an objective. NO S&^%, you want a challenging job that allows you to expand your skills, work within a team and further your career. SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE. Use this space to expand on what you can do or have done. "Over my past 20 years of experience within the IT field I have designed full scale networks, worked and led multiple teams of individuals to successful completion of their tasks and have worked and managed multiple efforts which have saved millions of dollars in software licensing, manpower and time. My experience is further detailed below". This may not be the best write-up BUT it can be something that entices the 'resume reviewer' to be curious about what you have done. ALSO update your skills and make sure you list the skills you have acquired on your most recent job. IF you have NO new skills and you're just looking, maybe look into a ONE day class that can increase your current skills and give you that ONE little differentiating factor over your competitors.

Be diligent and review your resume and make sure when someone contacts you based on a resume they the one they have seen is in fact your most recent. Try to add a DATE to your resume and then you can know for a fact it is most recent if not ask them if you can e-mail and updated version.
That one mispelling on the other guys resume may just give you the edge over all the exact things on their resume.

Notes from an IT hiring manager

I am a hiring manager, yes that one person that you can sit in front of and I can either say Yes you're hired or Nah not this time. First thing I'm going to do is tell you a little about myself and then go onto how to find jobs then maybe some tips on Resumes and a few more on interviewing and maybe some other stuff. But mostly I will give you my experiences and encounters with those I hire and those who I don't hire. I will NEVER give names nor will I tell you who I work for other than a generalized amount of information. Here is my background. I am prior U.S. Air Force, I worked in one of the few Combat related career fields while I was in controlling Ground Attack Aircraft and directing them onto targets. (Maybe I'll go into that later) I worked in multiple Special Operations Units until a Parachuting Accident ended my world-wide mobility and choose to get out at 15 years of Service. While I was in a got multiple Microsoft Certifications including my MCSE. I also went to School and recently graduated from Saint Leo University with my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration with a Specialization in Technology Management.
I currently work for a Major Department of Defense Contractor and am a hiring manager that hires for positions supporting our IT contracts.

I don't have a stellar resume BUT it gets me the job and supports me very well which is exactly what a Resume should do. More about that later. Also I have to have a disclaimer I'm not the most educated and I'm not perfect which I betting 99% of you fall into the same boat. SO you CAN get hired and maybe some of the things I say can help.
