The job market today is all about skills. What do you bring to the company that will get them a return on their investment? And that is what you have to decide very early on.
You can follow this link to a story on LinkedIn about companies offering training to employees since they can't find people with the skill sets they need.

Remember...When you target a company, you decide what strengths, talents, skills you want to work on in your next job. Then you find a company that needs those strengths, talents, skills to make money. That is the relationship made in heaven for a job seeker. But remember, you are the one that is in charge because you decide what you want first. Then you contact companies that need that.
In the resume and in the interview, they don't care what your job description was. They want to know what you accomplished and what strengths, talents, skills you used to do it. That is how they measure your value to their company. If you can't describe that to them, in terms of dollars and "sense" then you won't get the job. They want to know where the money is.
Remember...You must be able to demonstrate strengths, talents, skills in today's marketplace. That is what you are hired for.
