I know its long, but this is just a base resume. For each job I will cut out the irrelevant parts (qualifications and courses) and make it a page or a page and 1/3rd max. The formatting (top of second page) will be fixed before I submit of course.

Also, my GPA. Since these resumes will be for a co-op position, we have to submit our trascript, so I am not sure whether I should put it in there. Its about the average GPA in my program, so its not anything to be pround of.

Oh, and please don't hijack/threadcrap like some people did with my other thread.

Yeah i took 2 resume/ career workshops and both of them said that the resume should not exceed 1 page. Believe it or not companies don't have the time to read everyting, they just quickly skim, so only list what is relevant to their company. If your pressed for space, remove interests.

Try to genearlize your qualifications too, it's not neccessary to list every coarse you took in college/ university.
