The short previous jobs raise red flags for me. If they were just short contracts that expired, might want to specify that on the resume.

ya there were short contracts like the may 2005 was just a placement for school (wasnt even paid, I was in concurrent education my first year and it was a part of the curriculum, and i was told I could use it as a past job) the marketing one for epson was just a promotional job for the christmas season.

Any other suggestions?

Remove the "References furnished upon request". If they want them, they'll ask for them.

 

[ScottyB]

Take out high school info. Remove "Skills Summary" section. Change "EMPLOYMENT HISTORY & ACCOMPLISHMENTS" to "Experience" and place Employment History + Skills in that section together (college experience counts as experience).

"Communicated with customers ensuring that all sales are closed showing superior written and verbal communication skills "

This sounds more than a bit awkward.. Also "communicated with customers" sounds weak, whereas "closed all sales" is much stronger.
