looking for some resume help
I'm trying to figure out the best way to put my education and certifications. I went to WPU and majored in English and secondary ed. I earned a BA in English. I then wend to NJCU where I earned a masters in reading and I'm currently finishing the last course I need for my supervisors certificate.
My certifications are Teacher of English, Reading Specialist, and next month I'll be applying for my supervisor's certificate.

Disclaimer: I am not an MD. Please don't PM me with pregnancy-related questions. Ask your doctor.
I would list your education first, then your certifications. Also, I wouldn't state what you majored in just the degree you earned (e.g. Bachelor's of Arts, English; Master's of Arts, Reading) and I would remove the city and state from each university.
HR managers spend minutes if not seconds on each resume, I would make it as concise as possible while not removing any important detail. Remember, your resume is your foot in the door, you can explain other pertinant details in the interview.
