The easiest way to target your resume (without rewriting the whole resume) is to include a Resume Summary of Qualifications or Career Highlights section at the top of your resume.
Review the job description, then review your resume. Take the experience, credentials, and education that best match the job posting and include them in the Summary of Qualifications section at the top of your resume. Then list your experience in reverse chronological order, just like you would on a traditional resume.
In addition to targeting your resume, you will need to target your cover letter in a similar fashion. Again, take the skills that match the job criteria and highlight them. You will need to show the hiring manager that you're a qualified candidate. You will only have a few seconds to convince him that you should considered for an interview.
