Question Details Asked By Asked On
Is my resume done correctly? AhmadBalkhi 01/01/04
    Hi Experts!
    I have just completed my courses to obtain my bachelor of science in mathematics. I have not yet recieved my WPE results (writting exam required to get my diplom) and CBEST (writting, reading and math exam that enables me to teach in california high schools). However, I like to apply for teaching now since I may not have my exam results and diplom before march or april 2004. In the following, I pasted my resume. This is my first resume for a major job. Can you please check its format and contents. I am open to suggestions. Anything that you like to add or comment would be appreciated. Infact, the reason I posed my resume here is to get more comments and ideas.
    One more thing. The resume I posted bellow is not in the format I have it in word. I worked in resume format in MS work, and when I pasted here, the arangement went off. So the format is alittle different but the contents are the same.
    Sincerely
    Ahmad Balkhi
