MAIN PROJECTS:

  The Technical Information System was used by Technicians and Engineers worldwide to obtain relevant product information. My duties included expanding the Technical Information System, troubleshooting the system, administering the SQL Server 2000 database.

• Developed an online Technical Incident Report System in ASP
  The Technical Report system was used by the company to give technicians and Engineers a means
  to report important issues with the company's electronic products. All reports were given points by a
  report administrator via a complex evaluation method and the application would generate Summary Reports based on the value distrubution

• Developed a Training Registration website in ASP
  The company was using a mail-in process for registering attendees for training seminars. A web based registration system was developed to replace the old system. The application had modules for both training administrators and attendees.

• Developed a Customer Support System in ASP.NET
  The company was using a third party Customer Support software to handle calls. An in-house application
  was developed in ASP.NET and data was migrated from an unnormalized access database to a normalized
  SQL Server Database. A migration plan was drafted and the customer service reps were able to use the
  new ASP.NET application without any significant retraining.

Head over to your Career Services dept. and ask them for some help. That's what they are there for!

 

[mAdMaLuDaWg]

Errrm... thank you for stating the obvious. I was looking for help from this board which was why I posted here, besides they aren't open now.

a lot of people will tell you to remove the references part. Just leave it out completely. Also you should have an "objective" section above your education section that is tailor-made for the position the company needs

 

[shopbruin]

spell "pursuing" right.

or put something like

EDUCATION:
New Jersey Instititue of Tech, Newark, New Jersey
Bacheor of Science, Computer Science - Expected Graduation Date December 2005.
Overall GPA: 3.78, Major GPA (if its higher.)
Add in any honors here.

pursuing sounds weird...

EDIT: also in addition to an objective, tailor your resume to each job you apply for. if this is for a job fair, just highlight your accomplishments and your experience.

if its for a specific job, read the ad and see what they want, and specifically mention in your resume if you've done it before. also tailor the objective using key words from their ad into your resume and cover letter.

think about what you want to highlight first: your experience, education or skills. put your most impressive first, then next impressive, and then least impressive near the bottom.

If you're going to list ASP and ASP.NET as two separate things, at least put them next to each other, not one first and the other last after a bunch of unrelated stuff.
