You are already a classroom teacher now teaching in a multi grade intermediate level class. So rather than say you will find teaching in a classroom exciting I would put that with the flexiblity and adaptiblity as you make a statement about qualities and then have the example of those qualities following the statement.

I work with veterans seeking employment most have barriers to employment such as a disablity or homelessness so look at lots of resumes and cover letters everyday.

One major akk for me is the objective statement. The only time there should be an objective statement on a Resume is if you are changing it for every job and every school you apply to. The objective is to obtain X job at Y school.

Cover letters are many times part of the scan readers they want to see thier job descriptionin thier opening regurgitated back to them with examples of how you meet those qualities or requirements. Think about all the key words in a job description, Certified, test preperation, standards meet, goal achievment, engaging, and so forth. You want to make sure that those are in that secound paragraph because if you send to a school that uses a scanner it has all those key words programed in and it has a required hits number so out of 100 key words it will only okay for human review ones that say give a 50 hit (usually inculdes the resume and cover letter.) so you want clean bullet pointed resume and to bullet the things that are looked for and then pull from those to make that 2nd paragraph as a meets or exceeds job description thing.

Hope that makes sense I'm a little tired from force feeding sick kit all night...
