How do your place yourself on the top of the resume pile?

I just graduated college and I have 5years of admin experience and over 7 years of customer service experience working for a variety of companies. I am even willing to move because I have not even settled down anywhere. Trying to find a job over the internet is killing me. There is never any contact information and you apply for like 300 jobs and nobody e-mails back and you have no way of checking status or even making a name for yourself by calling personally or walking in. When I do get a fax number I fax my resume and cover letter and get thrown in a pile of 400 people! How do I get mine on top! I just need someone to give me a chance, although I graduated with a degree for teaching, after my internship I decided not to teach. I am trying business again, which I have the experience in, and all people see is educator that all of a sudden is a child hater! Why can't people see that educator means good presenter, organizer, energy, positive, outgoing, detailed and self starter! I am unable to call any of these people because they only list e-mail or fax through their e-mail.
