Need Resume Advice please

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

I am an LVN with 5 months of experience so far. Have redone my resume so many times and dont seem satisfied. I want to make sure I have key words in my resume, especially since many places have automated systems sifting through resumes for "keywords" in them when applying for many positions. If you dont have the "keywords," your resume gets tossed. So here is another resume i did if anyone can critique on this, i would greatly appreciate it. Thank You.
