Your resume looks pretty good.

Shave, cut and comb your hair, and wear some nicer clothes when you go job-hunting next. Shake the potential boss's hand upon meeting, look in the eyes when talking, use proper grammar, and say NOTHING negative about yourself unless they ask. Don't volunteer any more information then they ask you, especially personal information (you may say something they don't approve of). And most importantly, after dropping off the resume, check back in a week or so in person, also nicley groomed, and express continued intrest in the job.

This has always worked for me. I have never had problems getting a job. Infact, every application i have ever put in has gotten me a job. I think following up is about the best thing you can do though....most places get hundreds of applications with no follow up. You have to set yourself above the rest of the crowd.

Good luck!
