I was at a Job fair out here in Vegas about 8 months ago and there were HR chicks (some damn fine ones albeit)from about 3 different Hotel/Casino conglomerates that gave all of us the impression that your resume should be pretty much editable to the job you are submitting it for.
If your last two positions have little to do with the job you are applying for but your job BEFORE the last two was a pretty good match they suggested that you post it FIRST on your resume and then the all of the others in order of relevance to the job you are seeking with A-B-C company.
It's an employers market right now and the less crap they have to read to get to your exact qualifications the better. They said when they have 200-300+ applications/resumes to review if yours is too hard to understand or has way too much fluff it will get a #13 filing.
I was seeking IT professional job too and not long after that job fair I landed a job with Edison Learning here in Las Vegas. Some of what they had to say made a lot of sense so I used that knowledge to my advantage.
