Is it necessary to have a professionally written resume?

I'm job hunting and I don't get any call backs for interviews. Is it my resume? Most of the stuff I read says you have to show that you're a go getter but I really feel the positions I'm applying for require more of a "this is what I can do for you" kind of description. I'm a lab jockey and that's what I bring to the table. I'm not going to be "increasing revenues by 40%" nor should I be expected to. Thanks.
