It's tough, but it can be done. As someone else said, tailor your resume. Besides deciding what to include, try to find things you did in previous jobs that might be done in the new one. And focus on *those,* so you can plausibly say that a potential job interests you because it includes things you found interesting in other jobs.

What you need to do (if you can honestly do it) is let a potential employer know that you're not going to bail the second a more desirable job in your field comes up.
