Experience

playground Supervisor, beyond The bell youth Services; Los Angeles, Ca— 2006-2012

I have worked with children from 1^st-8^th grade in the afterschool school program. I am currently at Roy Romer Middle School in North Hollywood. I have supervised 10-90 students afterschool. I have created and helped with sports programs in order to teach them how to play flag football, basketball, softball and soccer. I have trained boys and girls for two months period in order to prepare them for sports tournaments on the weekends. The students play versus other middle schools that have afterschool programs. Within the program they learn about Physical Education and team activities. Through the program I have taught them about positive self-image, physical fitness, body awareness, sportsmanship, leadership skills, team work, character building, and cooperative social skills.

Hi Gomez87,

Thank you for posting your resume! You have a very good start. Here are a few ideas for improvement:

- Add a Qualifications Summary. This section would be placed above your Experience section, and includes your career goal and highlights of your strongest qualifications. Right now, readers would have to guess what type of job you're targeting -- it's better to spell it out for them.

- Write in an "implied" first-person voice. If you remove personal pronouns, your document will be easier to skim and digest (e.g., replace "I have worked with children" with "Worked with children...").

- Revise the Education section. Remove high school information. Lead with your college studies, but make it clear if you have earned your degree or if it's in progress.

- Revise the Skills section. The second bullet re: your Spanish language skills is covered in your first bullet that says you are trilingual.

- "Clean up" the document. Thoroughly proofread and correct any writing issues. For example, months of employment should be capitalized whereas "kids/teenagers" should be lowercase (I would use "youth" instead of "kids"). State names (Los Angeles), job titles used in headings (Playground Supervisor), and employer names should also be capitalized.

I hope this gives you a starting point for improving your document!
