I need some help. I just received my bachelors degree, although I had aimed to become a teacher I need help updating my resume so I can get some kind of office position in which I have the opportunity to grow. I don't have much knowledge on how to work with what I have and could really use some help. I have been in search of a full-time position for over a year.  Please HELP!!!

 

COVER LETTER

 

To Whom This May Concern,

 

 

I am a recent graduate from CSU-Northridge where I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies. I have had a lot of experience working with people of all ages, including children and young adults. I really want to get more experience working in a different atmosphere and this will definitely help me in my career. I am looking for full time employment or part time employment.

 

I am a detail-oriented person with excellent interpersonal skills and an enthusiastic personality.  I am always looking for new opportunities and I always work to the best of my ability.

 

I would welcome the opportunity to meet you and to further discuss your requirements.

 

Thank you for your interest.

In the intro, the first line seems to imply that people bother you - try to make this softer sounding, and relate it directly to what a employer could use.

There is a typo in the qualifications paragraph - two periods after "task."

"Recipient of a..." is a little long winded, you just need "Bachelors of Liberal...."

No need to put your high school.

Change the paragraphs under the positions to bullet points and take out babysitting - that seems unprofessional to an employer.

Place the different category skills (computer, language...), in different lines.
