I wouldn't put any short-term things like that on a resume, you might want to make something up and I substitute teaching would be something, but I'd recommend you against becoming a full teacher.

I literally cannot decide what to do with my life -so much that I'm starting to wish I didn't exist in the first place so I wouldn't have to worry about it. If I don't find a job within in a year...that's it, my life is pretty much over and I might as well kill myself.Maybe you could be a professor at UConn? That way you don't have to deal with kids.That would be awesome if I was in your class. I'd completely blackmail the shit out of you for straight As.

And I'm not exactly the academic type. I finished with a 2.966 in Liberal Arts. That is just absolute shit. Literally I cannot decide on a single occupation that I would want to do, and now it is really starting to affect me. Definitely not thinking good thoughts tonight.A 3.0 can't be too bad though. I mean isn't that just straight Bs? Bs aren't that bad.

Once you've been out of work for six months, there's little you can do to find work.
When you don't have a lot of paid work experience, it's hard to put a resume together.What you need to do is draw on the work, volunteering, or educational experience that is the most relevant to the job you are applying for, and highlight the soft, transferrable skills that you have, in addition to the technical skills the job requires. You may not be able to meet all the technical qualifications for the job, but if you can zero in on those soft skills and express that you are a well rounded and motivated individual, you may get a shot.You can spin the voting thing by highlighting the community service element, which could be useful if you decide to stick to teaching. You can also highlight technical skills with the Excel seminar and using the smartphone app.I wouldn't write off the substitute teacher thing if I were you. There are DOZENS of very useful soft skills you can pick up and emphasize from it. Dealing with different groups of people, organizing and presenting a study plan, communicating with the main teacher as a team (TEAMWORK EXPERIENCE IS A HUGE RESUME PLUS!), etc.
