I'd hire you if you weren't in boy scouts. ;) j/k

Sound like a real educated person. The first resume is quite impressive and I can't believe you went for five years using that other one. :Q

For the town I grew up in, it impressed most people I gave it to. :p

I should clarify, the formatting problems from my old resume were due to changes when I transferred it to PDF.

don't capitalize seasons (or at least be consistent!) -- also you are working three part time jobs but they are not equally "important", so clarify and elaborate... emphasize whatever it is you are applying for (what are your technical skills? perhaps a separate list). If this is for grad school, tailor it for that.

is it just me or does using I for every sentence under experience seem uh redundant. Whoever is looking at YOUR resume will know that it was you, there should be no reason to say I did this I did that.

I will probably be going into something finance/accounting related. Unfortunately I have no experience/certifications yet in that respect. It will be a year or two before that becomes feasible.

Yes, it is. Another thing I need to fix.

looking at it again (as an employer) the thing I wonder about is the multiple jobs while you are still a ft student -- they are impressive but because it is not clear exactly what your role is (i.e., are YOU the author of the book? helping to edit it? are you the person in charge of the building full time? are you one of x students that help p/t?, etc.) it . Otherwise it just seems too vague and I would assume you are exaggerating (not that you are, it just would leave some doubt in the reader's mind because the actual roles are still unclear).also, if you have not graduated yet, put "expected May 2004" or something like that.
