First thing is, be sure you're not sending a generic resume for applications. Tailor them, even if just a bit, for each employer, referencing something in their company's policy or values.

Ex. I applied to the county government with this resume for an intern position. They ended up bringing me on board as the county website specialist.

Get a meeting with someone at your school's career center and try to draft out a few resumes, each specific to a field (retail, customer service, IT, etc.). Then for each application you send, you could tailor it to be institution-specific in your personal statement.
