Thank you for first revising your resume according to our best practices advice before posting it. You did a pretty nice job.

The profile should be reworded so that you use the word "best" only once.

At your career stage, it's not easy to come-up with accomplishments but you still managed. In your field it's difficult to use metrics, but it would still be better if you could add results to any of the accomplishments that approximate the measurable. For example, would it be possible to say something along the lines of: "Improved the learning experience by planning and managing activities, as was noted in positive feedback from parents."

Some of your word choices and grammer could use improvement and some of the action verbs could be stronger. I'd rewrite some of the accomplishments as follows, but these and the other accomplishment could use more improvement:

  • Maximized enjoyment and minimized conflict as a leader and chaperone on field trips.
  • Improved the learning experience by planning and managing activities.
  • Promoted to a position as a key team member through hard work and excellent customer service.

Some of the other wording seems stilted and possibly included to only have filler. If you only have two worthwhile bullet points, don't try to come up with three. Part of the point to listing the jobs at your career stage is to show that you're industrious so just listing the job achieves that goal.

Place Related Experience before Professional experience and change "Professional Experience" to "Other Experience", otherwise the perception of the Related Experience is diminished. Also, since your education is not related, move that section to before computer skills. If you graduated, mention the degree.

There's not enough white space. You could reduce the vertical space required by combining the experience headings into one line. Also, if the font is more than 10 points try reducing it half a point or try the other format suggestions. Add a line below Teachers Assistant and the vertcial lines should all have a blank line above and below. Shift the address right so that the zip code right aligns with the horizontal lines.

Feel free to post the revised version.
