Resume: How about THIS baby?!

[hauntedheadnc]

Don't ask me why, but even after hearing about all my troubles with my resume, my boyfriend, a child psychologist in Oklahoma, asked me to write a resume for him to help facilitate him making the move from there to here. I'd like some feedback, if anyone cares to take a look.

To me this looks like a really good resume, the only thing that you might want to consider is an employment objective at the very top of the resume. Now that Im in management and I am hiring employees (fun fun) I always appreciate seeing an objective of why they want the job. I would actually make this very specific to the company. For instance if you want a job at wal-mart (picked because its a big company who everyone knows):

Employment Objective: To secure a position with Wal-Mart, which would have opportunity for growth in the company so I can ultimately be placed in a management position.

From there you go into talking about your work experience and education. I really hope this helps. I have used employment objectives on every resume I have used and it really has helped me in the long run.
