Graduating in a few months, so I'm going to be searching for a full time offer
Primarily interested in some type of consulting position but I'm open to anything

It'll be hard to contact you with that contact information.

Seriously, though, some of the words on there don't need to be capitalized. For instance, "abroad" doesn't need to be capitalized. You didn't capitalize other non-proper words in your sentences, so I know that you weren't trying to write the sentences headline-style. That just sticks out and it shouldn't.

that's a fake contact info.. I edited it out for privacy



Seriously, though, it looks good.

I would correct the improper capitalization of "abroad" though. It's not proper and doesn't need to be capitalized.

Thanks, I'll change it. I don't know why I had it capitalized

Looks pretty good for a Gator. What type of consulting job do you want, like a business analyst for software development?

I'm aiming for an entry level position at a strategy/technology consulting firm
a business analyst related position would be great, too
I would like to be constantly meeting and interacting with people. Oh, and the job has to be challenging.. that's really important to me. Location is also an important factor, I want to go to a large city.

I wouldn't hire you for any software development work, not as a programmer and sure as hell not as a project leader or even consultant for such a project. You say your computer skills include Java, C#, amongst others, but you've given me no reason to think so. I might hire you as a financial consultant however, but seeing as how your focus is scattered I would have my doubts as to whether you're good at anything in particular.

Consider being more specific on your dates of employment. Right now, your Spring 2007 experience makes me think that you either:
a.) Take on more than you can chew
b.) Moonlight, and aren't fully dedicated to your primary job

unbold everything. only bold in the stuff that you want the hiring manager to see. chances are, they will not read your entire resume during preliminary screening. you want to catch the hiring manager's eyes and direct it to the stuff that he is looking for - things like degrees, relevant job experience and coursework/projects. if you are applying for a management/leadership position, then highlight your leadership skills, etc.

I don't want to do software development. All of the computer skills I learned through my coursework. We covered all those languages but not in depth. If it gets brought up at interviews, I'll talk about that. I'm looking for an entry level position... I took a well rounded approach during college and didn't focus on one thing. I thought the main thing a college degree signifies is that "I'm trainable"?
