  Put your MA above your other degrees as it is the most valuable. Here is a secret – sometimes people are overqualified. My brother is a lawyer and could not get a job anywhere for 9 months and one day he stopped putting down that he had a JD and he got hired within 2 weeks from the change – and then when he got his new job he put it back on his resume and kept looking, and then got an even better job because he was currently employed.

  It looks like you have a lot of good experience – just keep it to the most valuable and minimum.

  You have too many jobs and not enough time in them. This shows employers instability. Try using a functional resume.
