I'd just list your last few employers to show how long you have stuck with them in the recent past so that they see that you aren't a job hopper. In the cover letter though, you can explain some of the things that you are comfortable with and have done on your own. If you are fresh out of college, and don't have any relevant work or just short term jobs, leave them off and mention in your resume objective that you are a new college graduate looking for an opportunity in your career field. If you have a degree in another field and experience in another field, put in your last 2-3 years worth of employers to show stability in the companies you have worked for. In your objective mention your objective for the career change to IT. If you have any certs, definitely list them. If you don't, I would highly recommend that you get the A+ to start with and then customize depending on what path in IT you want to take. Just be very careful about putting personal experience that you have as it's likely not going to be relevant in an enterprise environment.
