There are no additional skills, they don’t have people skills (social situations are awkward for them). What could be done to make the resume more impressive other than adding fake references, jobs and schooling? (they also don’t have any professional references except for family, no friends either.)
She doesn’t know what type of job she wants. She’s never been goal oriented and the jobs she has had she was talked into taking. She prefers being by herself but she does want some type of income so she can live.

Create a video blog…instantly.

What type of job does the person want? There’s 2 jobs on the resume and they’re unrelated to each other. Her studies are also unrelated to each other and her jobs. The resume needs a theme and the person needs direction.
