Make sure your resume is neat, contains pertinent information, everything is spelled correctly, punctuation is correct, and is easy to read. Do not feel you have to list every single job you ever had. If you were at a job for only a few weeks, don't bother with it. Some people feel that listing multiple jobs looks impressive. It doesn't...it makes you look like a job-hopper. Once you have your resume done, have other people look at it (family, friends) and get their input on any changes you should make. Only list references that know you well. Employers do not like calling references only to be told they have only known you a few months. I hope this helps...good luck with job hunting.

Here is one of the dozens of websites with information about writing good resumes:
http://www.newwork.com/Pages/Networking/2001/Writing%20Effective%20Resumes.html
You can also get someone to help you with it on line. Just google "writing effective resumes" and you will have lots of choices.
The first thing I looked for when I was hiring people and reading resumes, was an organized resume that was easy to follow with the major points being made quickly. Then I looked at neatness and correct grammar and spelling. Those made a real impact when I was getting forty or fifty resumes for one position. Those were what got me to read the rest and concentrate on content. You have to make a professional appearance with your resume as well as your body.

Judging from the spelling and grammar in your question, it's no wonder your resume "didn't work", especially if the job you were applying for required good writing skills. I work in sales, and an application or resume written like the above wouldn't get a second glance, let alone enough interest to call you for an interview.
You might want to consider an adult ed class to work on those skills. Good luck in the job search.
