Resumes again

If I put up a link to my resume any of you folks be willing to critique it?

I've gotten some input from a friend of mine in tech writing and I've been to the campus CDS but I'd like more opinions.
 
looks kind of plain to me, or maybe just because you only have 1 job experience.
I see that you haven't finish your school yet, but I guess you can list out some of the core coures that you're taking right now right below your education. That will take up some space and make your resume looks better.
 
I would lose the objective. Dont use a template.
I know it seems too short but you are so young. You do have good work experience.
Grad in 2005 huh? Im impressed with your neffing skills youngster.


So :beer:
 
It's not a template. 🙂

I haven't been called youngster in quite some time....I'm 29. I blew off my early & mid 20s for booze and parties. Not the smartest thing I've done but at least I managed to pick up a decent amount of life experience during that debacle. 🙂
 
I'm getting ready to retire form the .mil and I have been tweaking my resume for a few months now and I'll pass on to you what I've been told.

1. Get rid of the objective.
2. Quantify everything. You say "20+". Be specific. Same with your other bullets. How many new employees have you trained? How many documents have you archived, etc. Also add the result of these activities. Did it save time? Money? Generate business? You get the point. Put a result of your activity.
3. I don't know what an "Eagle Trainer" is. No one else will either.

Hope this helps.

My 2 cents..

Your personal info and should only take up 2 lines.. i would structure it horizontally (name adress, email on one line, phone numbers on the next
Education: Combine Major and GPA onto one line
Ojective: Change it to something like 'To obtain a challenging Information Systems postion where my skills in solving hardware/software problems and decison-making will be utilized to add value to your operations.'

I'm telling you to make space so you can expand on the skills section. Just putting Java or visual basic.NET on there means nothing, be a bit more specific.. show them that you're more than just a buzz-word. Say designing *&#@*)(* in visio. Also, what do you know about those operating systems, administration, hardware support, networking, maintenance.

I might be wrong, but you're resume at present doesn't tell me much about what you can do for the company you're applying to 🙂
