My first advice is to reformat your resume. There are some very good examples on TechRepublic for resumes. I would suggest you start by reading the article on functional resumes.

Next, I would suggest you check some of the job websites such as careerbuilder.com, monster.com, etc.

If you are currently working, be careful about "broadcasting" your job search. Word could get back to your boss and make things difficult.

Good luck in your job search!

If possible describe what the *value* of your work was, not just list various tasks: for example, how many users used the VideoStore or Classro@m application? How much revenue does it help generate? How many transactions does it manage each day?Nowadays many employers are looking not just for what you've done technically, but what was the impact you have on the organization. The more directly you demonstrate your value proposition, the easier it will be for the hiring manager to call you in.

Minor twiddle: put your education towards the back if you're an experienced hire. Inexperienced hires only have their education to their credit, so they lead with that. With yours, lead with experience and skills, education is towards the end.
