Please Review My Resume - Trying to get into a good position at a HF

I've been trying to get into a good position in IM, HF, etc., but have not had much luck recently. Please take a look at my resume and let me know what may be holding me back. Thanks!

Taking a quick look:

  1. You need to re-format your resume - Follow this link to see the proper format

  2. Get rid of the summary

  3. if your professional experience is quality, it should be above your education - you graduated 4 years ago

  4. Get some extra info in the bottom section - Languages, computer skills, technical skills, hobbies, interests, volunteer work - something to add a bit of character

  5. Most importantly, your bullets need to be redone - some of this comes from formatting, but a lot of it comes from context. Right now there are a ton of words on a paper, but it isn't telling me anything - most of your bullet points are empty - I don't see any results or impact for any of your responsibilities or projects, and I don't even see a lot of substance for your projects - you've got a lot of experience, but none of it looks impressive based on its current presentation.

PM me if you have other questions or need help.
