i don't have word though lol.. i did this on notepad. :cool:

don't be too harsh with me! but any advice would be nice! :D
I Found out it's 3 pages long, i've been told that 1 page is good.. so i don't know what i need to take out! help? :p

I think it looks great! Concise, to the point and very professional! Good luck!

Your resume looks great.. Just a couple of changes I would make..
1st: Put your most recent work experience first so you should just switch them around
2nd: For your Related Experiences/clinical experiences try and put down the dates (if you rememebr them) I did that with all of my student teaching...
3rd: Don't worry about going over the 1 page mark.. I was always cocerned but after talking to several professional people they said 2 pages plus a reference page is good.. You can try to switch margins around to make it fit into a smaller area..
You did an great job and I am glad I was bale to be of assistance.. Good luck!! I have cover levers and thank you notes in my files as well!!

Looks good!
If you send it out in Doc. form, you might want to bold some stuff and make it look all nice and pretty. If you want, you could send it to me and I can pretty it up for you! (I'm not sure if you can do that in Notepad?) I've made so many resumes, girl. hahah It's like my specialty

It looks awesome and I also like Brooke's suggestions.

Thank you Breeze!! I really enjoy doing resumes

You're experience looks great (love the perfect attendance- dont take that out)

You do want to date it backwards (Current -previous). Dates are good, any missing time you need to explain (if any).

I like a one page resume. It doesn't look like three pages worth of info to me though - I think you could rearrange to get on one page.

Attachments are ok, so if you want more stuff - put on additional pages. You want the person looking at your resume to be able to look it over quickly, be interested and want to know more details. Use a large enough font size to be easily readable.

If you are going through a ton of resume's from applicants - which one's stick out. Make it pretty - check all spelling and dates carefully - print on nice paper if you are mailing.

Good luck!
