Are you using the same resume for every job or are you tailoring it for each job submission? Are you giving too much job history (assuming you might... have 10+ years). Typically, try to keep job history to 3-4 jobs, but not more that 10 years; unless you had 2 or less jobs that spanned that length of time. Also, remove any dates from education (helps avoid ageism).
