...if your resume consists of five pages of the same job description pasted over and over again with different companies on each one, or a long list of experience that has nothing to do with the position you're applying for, then yes, you need to do something to prevent those of us with short attention spans (i.e., managers) from getting a headache while reading your resume and wondering if we'll have the same reacton to your work.

Isn't a cover letter the place to spin my experience as a good fit for your requirements? The resume is about me, the cover letter is about us, yes?

Long of tooth and resume,
