I can tell you when I'm hiring technical people, I want a summary of their actual skills on the first page, then their most recent experience. I don't read more than a couple of pages thoroughly; and indeed, I generally don't bother if they haven't hit all the main points in the job description on the first page.
I'm much more interested in what they achieved (reduced downtime on mail server by 20%) than what they know (expert in blah blah). I rarely take much notice of industry-issued qualifications - particularly those from Microsoft! For the most part, experience and achievement is far more important than passing tests.
