yeah, I forgot that.. And smile for a change. Or better yet, drop the picture entirely. Most people don't use pictures.

I think it's great that you put your relationship status. Also listing your hobbies & experience 1/2 a lifetime ago is great as well. I think next you should include your grade school & pre school. Employers are really interested in that stuff.

in your cover letter you should just copy and paste the lyrics to this:
Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I've seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you
Chorus
Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

Will, I've told you before; as a hireing professional, I would not even take the time to read that mess of a resume you have posted. If I did; I would immediately throw it in the shred bin, as it is an utter mess, full of information I don't need, unfocused, and indicates a cluttered mind. In short, your resume, as presently structured, is a barrier to employment as it creates a negative impression of you. Please don't get defensive like last time, I'm giving you frank and honest feedback here.
My advice: keep it simple and basic. For example; nationality, date of birth, place of birth, and relationship status have no place on a resume. Keep the personal information to your name, address, email, and telephone number. You state a clear objective but this should be the very first thing after your personal information. Limit the amount of information you're offering... you have some decent things to note on your resume but they are obscured by inclusion of too much meaningless stuff (ie. the St. John's Ambulence/Corel office/WHMIS certificates are good; however, unless you're applying for certain positiosn most people will stop reading after Professional hypnotist and Stone Reiki Master). No one cares about what you did employment wise when you were 13... keep your employment to your last three to four positions (or the most relevent ones if you are sending a targeted resume). I would leave out the extracuricular section all together unless you are applying for a position for which any of this is particularly relevant. No need to discuss: hobbies, the awards/merits you list, travel documents (they will ask if they are interested), key words (WTF, is that there for people who may be doing an internet search on those words?), or your employment vision. Finally, just list that references are available on request, as javier may not be too found of having his contact information sent out to all your perspective employers or made available for public consumption on the internet.
Try to produce a traditional resume; you do not have sufficient qualifications for a CV so this is just too much irrelevant info. Hireing professionals are usually quite busy and are disinclined to spend time sorting through something of this ilk in order to determine if there is anything of interest burried within.
