List Only

How do I list my most relevant jobs on a resume when I've had several other unrelated jobs?

I have had several jobs over the last 10 years, but most have been in one industry. I need to figure out how to list my most relevant job experience without listing every single job, otherwise I will have several resume pages. What's the general rule regarding this?

1. By time line.
2. I would make a cover page of relevant experience, (a brief of qualifications) and then list the jobs on the following pages. It's worked well for me.
3. One strategy is to write a functional resume, which emphasizes achievements, instead of a typical chronological resume which lists employment from most recent all the way down. Another idea is to group your related jobs together in one main experience section, and then group the unrelated jobs in a separate experience category.
