I am a motivated individual, learn quickly and have outstanding work ethics. I tend to do great in a leadership role. Supervisor, Training Director or Manager. I have been applying for jobs with these positions but have it in the back of my head that I'm asking for too much? Can someone read through my resume and make other suggestions?

Hi Amanda. As you go about a job search, I would read several books on the job search and in business stategy. There is literature available on benefits negotiation. Some of my favorite books on the subject I recommend to you: 1. by Kevin O'Leary (seen on Shark Tank TV show, the Cold Hard Truth of Men, Women, and Money. 2. What Color is your Parachute.
3. The Automatic Millionaire (by Richard Bach), 4. Smart Women Finish Rich, by Richard Bach. I would read this literature regularly, and other books to add value and attitude.
Think Big, and Dream Big as well. Develop poise , confidence and stamina.
Best wishes,

What type of field are you in right now? Can you be more specific with explaining your frustrations here? I'd be happy to look over your resume but need some mor context first.
Thank you for the suggestions. I am not trying to be perceived as arrogant, i do not feel it should be everyone else's determination of what i am worth in the job market. I do not expect much, just not to be put at the bottom of the barrel every time i start a job. I know i have to work for certain positions(why i went to school). I will look into those books, thank you for opinions.
Unless I misunderstand your headline, it appears that money is the number one item on your checklist. It's important to differentiate "what you want" from "what you're worth". You can't determine your worth in a vacuum. Only your customer or employer can determine what you're worth to them. First determine what you're good at and what you love. Then, recognize that you can't go from the starting line to the finish line in one step. Sometimes you need to identify the steps necessary to get to your goal and then begin the journey. Make sure it's a journey you will enjoy.
