Dump the summary section, and replace it with an "objective". An objective should be one sentence and mention nothing technical. (Mine:"A position working with interesting technologies") Whenever possible, tailor the objective to the company you are submitting the resume to.
I've gotten so many mixed messages on that. When it was an objective, people said it should be a summary. When it was a summary, people said it should be an objective. Personally, I can't come up with an objective which doesn't just sound like it came out of "resume writing for dummies" so I'm sticking with summary.
Though if something that vague actually works, how about:
A long-term full-time position using interesting technologies to their fullest creative potential
I'll submit a link to my own resume as an example of one that seems to work. It's by no means perfect, but has gotten me a number of interviews and seems to get a good response rate.
I think there's a grammar issue there. Or maybe it just doesn't flow right. How about "...exploring the full potential of new technologies"? You could probably get "creative" in there somewhere.
"Creative" can be a loaded word, though. I'd only use it for positions were an artistic sensibility is useful.

Know anyone who does?
