I wouldn't put typed or had. Past tense. If you'vetested recently, put tested or test at 56 wpm 96% accuracy. If yo used to type that fast and are now unsure, put type in present tense, but get tested soon. Instead of had five years experience, just put five years'experience. Yes apostrophe.

Are you proficient in the software, or just soso? If the latter, put capable. But lose studied. That's past tense too, andit looks like your course work should be recent. Proficient or capable in outlook, etc.

Mention those photo awards--who from and when, under accomplishments, at bottom of resume for ood finish. Even if not in career field, but better if in. I mean, have you looked at companies doing grad/wedding/event/church-directory photos? You have the skills to understand photo needs, and computers to scedule shoots and edit. And if you want a photo job, move it up. As both your jobs are concurrent, it's not dishonest.
