ditch the intrests and hobbies and don't emphasis the education so much it comes accross as if you are relying heavy on that when the guy is looking for someone with some chops that can getter done. Might be better to site projects that you worked on and how they effected the bottom line, increased market share and position, maybe led the company into a new direction that was profitable.

They want to weed out as well as choose the guys that are gonna help them get the bonus'. IT people re smart but many have a problem getting the point accross. Here is a suggestion, get your self a copy of 'Creating and Delivering Technical Presentations' by Jones. Read it. Most IT guys are loosey at conveying thoughts in a compelling manner. Use this book to pitch your resume. Structure it like a presentation and pitch the product (you) to him. Your angle is that while you can write code with the best of them you can also be the front man to act as the liason between the IT dept and the rest of the company. Gawd only knows IT could use some good press internally right?
