They need to know exactly what job you are applying for. You need to put together a resume for a specific job. Employers throw away resumes of people who say they can do anything. You need to say if you are looking for work in purchasing, sales, IT or whatever. Put together a resume that reflects that. For example under objective: Seeking a sales trainee position where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. Go to yahoo yellow pages and get the names and numbers of the firms in the area you would like to work for. Call and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention. Most openings are filled before they are advertised, so the key is to get hold of them now. When you speak to the person ask if they have any openings at this time. If not, ask them if you know what firm does have openings. Follow up with a phone call to the person you faxed to in a few days for the companies that do have an opening/

It should be the first topic on the resume, sometime its all they may look at at first, so make it good.
