so I can become more skills that would help me in life.


um, I think you mean "So I can acquire more skills for life"

I know basic compute skills

should be something like "I have basic computer skills"

(what skills? word excel outlook, firefox? windows mac linux?)

Also, if you GPA is above 3.0 you should put it down in education and you should put your high school too.

Have you tried looking at different resumes so you can get a better idea of how to piece your skills together better? It may sound like a lot of work, but customizing your resume to the job you are applying for helps a lot!

You certainly have a good start, but it seems it's not display as well as it could be.

Personally I would put your education and accomplishments at the very top and you can technically smoosh your paid and non paid experience together. That is important is to show you did something.

Here are a few resume samples. Though personally I would drop the objective. You can really put that into a cover letter if you ever drop your resume off with anyone.

http://www.jobweb.com/resources/library/Samples/Four_Sample_Resumes_68_01.htm

This has been a handy site source for me when I was researching cover letter writing
http://www.career.vt.edu/JOBSEARC/Resumes/formats.htm


There are many other sources on the net that are handing getting you and your resume ready.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help with. I can kinda do this stuff in my sleep (been in out of jobs for the past year since graduating).

You just want a part time job yes? Why go through all that, just for that?

But I am more concerned that your continued misuse of English will prevent you from actually using proper grammar and spelling when you need to prove that you can do it. For example, " My goal is to find a part time job at I can do well at." Should read, My goal is to find a part time job I can do well. Skip all the "at"s.

List skills and responsibilities used. Or, why not get a job as a cook? Hell, I did that, with no skills or nada, I just applied, and some fool hired me! I started out as a baker for Shari's restaurants in Oregon City. Or was it working at Hamburger Mary's downtown? Don't remember, it was too long ago, and the HM gig didn't last too long.

I wish you all the luck you require, and no more!  :lol:
Have Fun

when i tried wearing latex and latex free gloves, my hands still would break out in little blisters, the docter thinks it might be the air cut off from my hand or somthing, i jad a patch test but it didnt show any reaction, its just my hands for the most part

Man, sorry to hear about that. Food is so easy to get a job in compared to other possible employments.

I wish I had other ideas for you. Unless..

Can you sell a car?

You could do the temp service thing.  Goto volt / kelly services / adecco and give them your resume + fill out an app.  The call them every day until they get so sick of you that they give you a job with one of their clients.
