Can someone tell me if this is a well-written professional resume? any feed back or critique is fine?

We Answered:

I have had a chance to look over your resume and have a few suggestions that I think could help you take the document to the next level.

1. I think you might want to forgo the Objective Statement (objectives are best left for the cover letter and are falling out of favor) and instead use a Branding Statement – a one or two sentence statement that outlines your high level experience and helps to create the "frame" through which the reader will see your information. Much of what you have put in the Objective Statement would work well. You might try something like:

"Detail-focused and compassionate professional, offering extensive Case Management, Program Management and Administrative experience. Track record of leveraging outstanding communication and interpersonal skills – including speaking fluent Spanish – to provide the guidance and tools necessary to effect positive change, both within families and within the organizations that support them."

See how that achieves the same goal as an objective, but communicates so much more. It also is a much more engaging way to open the document.

2. Many of your bullet points are responsibility focused. I think you could really set yourself apart by speaking more to accomplishments. I know this can be difficult in your field (which is why it would set you apart) but since prior performance is the best indicator of future success, speaking to accomplishments is the most effective way to engage the reader. Ask yourself the following question, "In each of my roles, how was my success measured? What metrics were I evaluated on?" Those instances when you met or exceeded those goals make for excellent bullet points.

3. Small item. You don't need to say "obtained" before your degree. By listing a degree, you are automatically saying you obtained it.

4. Take a close look at your bullet points and make certain the grammar is correct. I see a few areas were the grammar isn't as tight as it could be.

I hope that helps. It looks like you do really important work, so thank you for that! Best of luck in your job search.

Crystal Said:

can social services request a child protection order?

We Answered:

THEIR concern is also for the well-being of your child and future child.

That's why they are LOOKING INTO your child's living situation, and will LOOK INTO the situation if you and he get together again.

Looking into things doesn't mean they will either file for or GET an order. It means they need to know more about what's going on, in order to decide whether your child is in danger.
