Over the past 12 years I have had 4 major - mostly - full time jobs and a number of part time jobs. Is it acceptable to only include those jobs on a resume that are directly relevant to the job I am applying for - i.e. only include those that are related to teaching children if the job is a primary school? I am trying to make my resume more focused, but at the same time I don't want to appear to be hiding things by showing a gap in my experience.

My CV has a heading for 'releated experience' and one for 'related education and qualifications.' This way, I don't waste the time of potential employers with unrelated stuff, but I'm also not hiding the fact that I have 'unrelated' experience and education as well.

That's a good idea. Neat and economical.
