I haven't read this whole thread, but I used to attend interviews with my old Director. Some things he looked for were length of time at particular jobs. If someone skipped around a lot he wondered why and got a negative feeling about them right away. Also please make sure your resume matches the position you are applying for. For example, people will hand in resumes at my agency that they want to do a mental-health related job but nothing they list on their resume has anything to do with mental healthcare. In a case like this, I think it is better to hand in a resume where it is stated somewhere in a professional way that you are looking to change fields or gain more experience in a particular field. And also keep in mind that if you are changing fields, most often, you will have to be willing to accept an entry-level position and work your way up by gaining experience. Just because you were the manager at McDonald's for 10 years doesn't make you automatically qualified to be a psychotherapist or capable of supervising staff in a clinical setting if you get my drift......
