I like how your resume does a great job in really telling the reviewer about your qualifications, especially with the testimonials. However, I feel that it's just too long. I feel that you give out a lot of details about your past history. Rather, I feel a resume should build up to tell the reviewer about your background that helps you get the position. For example, I don't think your teaching background is necessarily supportive in helping you get a social media job, so minimizing that job description will help make thing shorter. Also, listing your high school is un necessary. You've got a masters so it's assumed you've complete high school. Also, with work experience already, I don't think mentioning GPA is necessary. It won't hurt your resume, but if interested in making it shorter, it's something you can consider removing.
I hope, I don't sound too harsh. My main comment is that it's too long and just threw out considerations which can shorten the resume.
I liked the recommendations on the side - I hadn't seen that before. I'd be concerned that it takes up valuable real estate though so many just highlight a few words rather than their entire quote?
Working with a recruiter, I used the format PAR for my resume accomplishments which seems to work. It makes it easy for the reader to imagine that your experience is transferrable into their environment. PAR stands for Problem, Action (taken by you) and Result. The village was burning so I took a fire hose to it and saved all the villagers. :-)
