I am trying to get job teaching and am also entering school to complete my masters degree this fall. I have sent out countless resumes and have gotten only 2 interviews that went no where. Something has to be wrong with my resume. Please help! I have posted it below so the format is probably off. Do I need to list GPAs from college since they will receive my transcripts?
