You have to be very careful when writing your school crossing guard resume and cover letter, as your lack of skills and qualifications means no response from the employer.
The prospective employer is completely unaware of how good you are in the workplace, or how well you get along with people with whom you will be working.
You have to tell them that you can do everything that he or she wants. That can only be done by adding the skills and qualifications section on your resume, and cover letter.
Here are examples of some ways that you can articulate your skills and abilities:
