This is far too much and repeating. Your resume should only be 1 page max.
The very top you should have your Name, address and phone #
You need an intro : Why you are applying for this particular job
Experiences: Cumulative
Past Employment: List jobs you had and when, also include any gaps of employment...and why you were unemployed.
As far as a cover letter, again, name/addy/phone. Address it to the hiring person, or To Whom It May Concern.
Be short, sweet, well spoken and explain yourself and your desire for the job. Don't ramble on, and orient the cover letter to the job (as well as the resume).
If you get an interview, make sure that you send a thank you letter, this gets them looking at your resume/application again. Also, on applications...dont leave ANYTHING blank. That is how they weed out ppl.
Best of luck!
