Resume

Hello, friends.

I am currently working on my resume to be sent out this fall, and I'm wondering if there are any readers out there who wouldn't mind looking over a resume and maybe have a little more experience than I do in the area. I feel kind of clueless as to the matter, and feel I'd rather ask help from people I know than just googling "resume help."

So, if you would want to help, let me know!

My resume will most likely be going in two directions: the Department of Education (D.C.) to work on reading programs or literacy development (I don't know exactly), and to children's publishing companies such as Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins (NYC) to do editing.

I have an education background (obviously...after this degree) - teaching strategies, curriculum development, etc., but I also have a good understanding for english (literature, and language acquisition) and psychology/human development. I feel I want to highlight these things in my resume, but I don't know if there's a clear way to do this. I guess you just list degrees and call it good?

Does a resume have pictures/graphics sometimes? I've been thinking having a website up and running is probably something I should do. I guess this blog doesn't count. I used to have a website - mersbookshelf.com. It was for my "independent consulting" I was doing for awhile for Usbourne Books. It is a great children's publishing co., but when I started school again, I didn't have time to do anything with it. I should probably put that on my resume! I had forgotten all about that. Mary...remember when you found out I had my own children's book side business?
