First Draft of the Resume

I finally wrote the first draft of my resume. I wrote it at 3am this morning. I couldnt sleep - still jetlagged from my honeymoon. I guess that is a good thing cause who knows when I would really ever get around to working on it.

I used my colleague's resume as a template. The only problem is that she has no intention of leaving the education field and I do.

I sent draft 1 to my father at 5:45 am. For feedback. His first response was that I should have spellchecked it and as an English teacher I should be ashamed of myself. Who spellchecks at 5:45 am? Didnt he notice the time on the email and think of what a dedicated daughter he has?

His second response was that I need to include an objective. And, use the wording from relevant job postings in my resume. Of course, he phrased that much better than I am.

His third response was that I should include results. I wondered at first if he was just thinking more business than education but then after brainstorming with a colleague we decided that I may be able to include statistics: students passing the regents, attendance statistics, maybe passing and graduation rate, amount of students served, etc. Assuming that these are all good. I'll have to go to my Assistant Principal to get that information (they track everything now!) but how will I explain why I need it?

All of Dad's suggestions were great. And, I'm on my way to a second draft.

Except, I have no idea what my objective is because I dont know what kind of job I want. How can I look for jobpostings? I dont even know what to fill in the fields on sites like idealist.org, monster.com, or indeed.com.
