If I were to chose 1 experience that has had a major influence in whom I am today, I say it's the opportunity I was given to live in & visit differenct countries: when I was 7 my family moved from Argentina to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. When I was 21 I moved to the US. I have also visited multiple countries. Being exposed to so many different cultures has had a HUGE impact in my life (personally and professionally).
Do you have one thing you can point to as a major driver of whom you are today?

Do you have a personal website? Is do you own your name's domain?
For my job search I set up my personal website and branded it to strengthen my career. If this is something you have been thinking about doing or don't really know how to start, I'd like to offer my services and get you started. Whether it's setting up the domain, hosting, Wordpress, strategizing or writing the copy, maybe I can help your job search out.
Tweet, message, or email me if you are interested.

Perhaps you interpreted my words wrong, as my style is direct and honest. I don't tend to coddle or soft soap my candidates or clients. And in effect, you haven't been here for some time, you seemed to have dropped out. I would happy to address you personally, but your question was not asked in a personal manner. But you did take me to task here, and challenge me if not try to malign my well intentioned efforts and that I take offense with.
If you want your resume to be unique, and stand out and represent you well, then you're going to have to write one that is better than the new one you posted, if what is posted is your new resume. It will not serve you well. And that's the truth. Did you come here looking for advice on how to improve your resume or to whine and say you have no skills that are marketable, no papers or qualifications or training, yet you've been working for several years, was it all in vain? Didn't you acquire skills and discover what you're good at and where you want to take this experience and skill set in your next position? You have to know what it is that you want to do, where you want to work and in what capacity. You have to have the desire to make it happen for yourself. You need to market yourself toward some goal or several goals, and your resume doesn't do that.
Elysa Rice's article is skewed and incorrect in her assumptions. And what ITEC is advising you is obviously not working, as you are still unemployed. You seem to be resistant to others suggestions and wish to believe that what you have is as good as it gets. That's your choice. But to call me negative, and malign my good intentions pointedly, and to say my balance is a little off, with that I take umbrage. My reputation and experience is what your are challenging. We may agree to disagree, you can listen to anyone you wish, and discard whatever advice you wish to, but please, it doesn't serve you well when you publicly attack someone. I obviously hit a nerve in you. Sorry you feel this way.

For LinkedIn - It is ok for schools to check this, because it is suppose to be a professional profile. All it does is adds more emphasis to one's application, because jobs, specialties, skills, etc. are listed.

No, your education goes at the bottom at your point in life. However, don't make much of the jobs that have no relevance to what your are seeking. You need to start your resume with a Summary or Profile section at the top that tells what makes you unique, what you do and have done in what capacity, how many people you've managed, etc. You have to brand yourself and market yourself in a brief paragraph so they want to read the rest of your resume. Under that comes your Skills: Do you have any computer skills, management skills anything that is exceptional? Then start with your Employment History. Good luck, hope this help. Market your resume toward a job goal.

I graduated in May and my first job experience was very different than I anticipated. First of all I applied for anything and everything I could manage to resemble experience on my resume, including internships. My first job out of college was an internship (that sadly to say was driven by the fact that it was a global company and pay was good). After that I worked hard to network around the company and find a place for me to stay once the internship was over. I think in this economy you don't start thinking about what you really want until you feel secure enough to breath - so until you are employed you don't think why you want to be employed there.

In my last course we had to create an innovative graphic to present data for an assignment. Knowing that I have a degree in Film Production, my professor nudged me to really connect with my creative energy, and I created a Glogster poster. Well, that assignment led me to interview an international consultant on my Blogtalkradio show to meet one of the competencies for the Ed.D. program. Now, I am very interested in pursuing a career in multimedia development for education. Any suggestions?

Finding them and seeing if they're interested in working with you on their current projects would be an efficient way to approach this and refine your offering.
Overall though, visualization of data is a HUGE HUGE HUGE (can't emphasize this enough) in the world of marketing analytics, big data, internet start-ups, etc. If you can do that well, you're in a very good spot for the near term.

@Danver, that is sound advice. I am going to contact Pearson this week.

What do you think about changing your last name when you get married? I can't believe people do it, actually. I mean, you have an established track record in the workplace by the time most people get married. Why undermine yourself by telling people to call you another name? I have had so much trouble with my own name changes (people googling the wrong name, for instance) I can't believe people bring this on themselves. the practice strikes me as antiquated.

It had a lot to do with forging my own identity.
In a historical sense, surnames used to be a lot more descriptive of a person, which is why most surnames translate into medieval professions, locations, and traits.

Beyond this, my initial impression was anger or rebellion. It would be interesting to see in a different color to see if I got the same impression though. I think if it was in a cooler color, like a blue, it would probably have a different feel.

Just read in the NYT this morning (http://nyti.ms/bBnLMZ) that 27 states have adopted the new national education standards policy. I'm worried because I feel like these new standards policies are too focused on fundamentals and ignoring the skills that are becoming more important for success like computer skills. I'm not involved enough in education to know whether I am right or wrong, but based on the things I have read I'm a little concerned. You guys are the experts, what are you thinking?

In these economic times, with budgets being slashed, we have to consider how many students are actually served under any given program.
Yes this is getting long winded and off track, so it's best to move it elsewhere.

Is it by standardized testing to measure the results of accomplishing this? I feel that is something yet to be seen. My personal belief, the whole dang education system needs a rest & overhaul (and our culture vaule education more than it does)!! The question I ask, does the same fundamentals from 30 years ago that were great building blocks apply to today's world? My thoughts are probably not. Definately the teaching styles probably need to be changed as well.
