Default Resume for a career changer?

Let's say I'm a career-changer regional airline FO who decides to "reverse" my career change. I've been out of college for five years (degree in Accounting), havn't worked in the field for almost four years, and want to go back to accounting/finance/banking.

What should my resume look like?

I suppose the easy part is the objective statement and qualifications summary at the top. Pretty standard on any resume. But after that? I've held six aviation jobs in the last three years, none of which are really relevant to the job I'll be seeking. So listing my past endeavors chronologically doesn't make much sense. What about listing relevant work experience first, then perhaps my most recent job in aviation?

And should the fact that I'm seeking a career change be explicitly stated somewhere?

Does anybody have thoughts or experience with this? Thanks!
