Get some reccomendations as close to the person as who is hiring you as you can. I've really made some great impressions with this in the past.

Don't make it too long, list the roles you have had, what made you great at them, and the value you brought.

Give an actual message to the person trying to hire you. Tell them why you want to be there, and why you are a great person for the role. Let them know you did your research for the position, and what value you can bring to them. It's more about selling yourself to this person than just selling yourself.
