Regarding your work experience, when I review a candidate's resume, I typically look at the nature of relevant experience that person has. For example, if that person has 10 year experience but has been doing the the same thing, I will just consider he/she has only one to two year experience and may also question whether that person will be a good fit for our firm since our firm's culture is "move up or out".
If you like to share some details on your experience and what kind of positions you are applying, I may be able to provide some suggestions.
