I would suggest a job in security management, either as an ecxecutive or as a account manager. You could also start a grass roots campaign and run for public office in a few years.

Have you though about being a professor as a university?

Id give it an 8 If you get a professional resume maker. it helps you with better heading names and formats. But looks good
2
looks fine a Little long
3
One thing that I noticed is you have some things written in past tense, and some in present tense. I think they should all be in past tense, unless you are still doing them.
4
i'd say an 8, you have the right idea, just need some help organizing it.
5
Usually the objective and the employment history is listed first, education, special skills (such as your ocmputer skille syou listed) and the at least three references... Ont he job you listed filing, faxing, stc etc..basic office equipment.. In most businessed these are indetified as copy machines, fac machines; etc.. I hope this helps

It should be in this order: Employment Education Skills get rid of the profile under skills you didnt list microsoft word. thats the most important. typing speed? I have been a recruiter for 5 years. If you want help, email it to me in word format and i will make the changes.

You may want to include a career objective heading (you want to be specific about the type of position you are seeking). Then under your profile, you want to highlight the skills which are relevant to the type of position you are seeking. Make sure that you use present verb tense for job duties in your current position only. For your previous positions, use past tense. Also, I would delete the the phrase "typed documents" and change to "prepared documents". I would also delete "extensive knowledge of funds..." as a job duty. That is something that would be listed under your professional profile. Someone mentioned that you should include references but that is bad advice. Never list references unless specifically asked by a potential employer. Instead, you should note "reference available upon request". Overall, I would give it a 7.

i have the same degree, only mine is an MS. my advice would be to go sit for your PHR or SPHR through SHRM. i find companies place more weight on a professional certification than an advanced degree. good luck.

Should I pursue an MA in School Counseling or MS in Human Resources
Should I pursue an MA in School Counseling or MS in Human Resources?
I have been in HR for three years now. I have my BS in HRD. I am not sure I want to continue my education and career in Human Resources. I have always pictured myself in an academic setting, but I'm not sure teaching is for me. I feel I would enjoy a School Counseling role and it would blend many of the attributes of my job that I DO like while also providing some flexibility in hours and a better environment.

They say to go with one's passion. 'If you love what you do, you'll never have to work a day in your life' :) If not interested in HR, perhaps consider moving towards the field that would bring fulfillment. The main glitch with school counseling is whether there is a job market with so many guidance counselors staying in their jobs until retirement ;) I'm not certain if one still needs a teaching degree as well as the counselor training though here are a couple of sites for more info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'counselors' or such. http://www.schoolcounselor.org
