Should you write down your past 4 jobs, even if they are completely irrelevant to the position you are applying for? thanks.

Every job, every position. The employer may find something interesting from the other positions that may be unique to the other resumes.

Yes, just tailor the skills/responsibilities to the job you're applying to. For example, if you're applying for a customer service position and your last job was a landscaper, you could say something like, "Fulfilled customers' design requirements" or "landscaped property in accordance to customers' wishes."

It depends. If they are totally irrelevant, you don't have to use them. However, if you don't have a lot of other experience, you should include them because potential employers do want to know that you are a stable employee and have a steady work history.

yes the employer is looking for some kind of stability in your work history. You will eventually take them off of you resume as time goes by.

yes. employers also look for stability in your past. sometimes they look at how long you haven't had a job. the best way to do it is to find similarities between your old jobs and the job you are applying for.

Yes because they still show you have a work history and your new employer may call one of them just to ask if you were a good employee(on time, work well with others, etc.)

yes you should, you might go for this position and you get it, and a few months down the road they create a new position, and it just might be what you already do, get my point?

Yes. I retired from the military and it showed that I can do different things.

Show everything to reveal your stability. But, for the readers sake, keep it SHORT.
