Try M&I template. The white space in the education section is turning me off. Get rid of your objective/"statement of purpose". Lose the high school stuff. Get rid of the Microsoft Office stuff. I hope you're actually fluent in all those languages. Kudos if you are, but if you're rusty in one you'll want to not claim fluency.
typos in the header (addresss), alignment is off in the header on the right side, missing GPA
in the bullets for work experience focus on your actions first and not what the internship did for you (e.g. "introduced me to X", move that to the end)
too many interests, probably best to pick 3 important ones at best if you want to strike up a conversation about something. if you list too many the importance of each is diminished
IT skills take up way too much room, could fit those on 2 lines
you have plenty of space left over after that, find something interesting to put there
Decrease your top margin. Increase font a bit Keep your bullets to 1 sentence not paragraphs. Compound sentences are okay
Got bored today so for fun here's a full review of your resume. Don't take offense to any of this it will improve your chances... a lot. Hope you break into the Street in the future.
Will go line by line...
IE: how exactly did you deliver results or help improve a process? 8. There should be at least 2-3 bullets for each experience 9. For your leadership skills it looks like you have some good experience. Instead of simply listing one line, choose maybe 2-3 of them and format them exactly the same way you have formatted your work experience 10. IT Skills: simply call this "Skills:" then use commas or semicolons to separate each skill. Otherwise the formatting looks strange as there is a large indentation 11. Would move languages above "Skills" as it is much much much more impressive to speak three languages than know basic Microsoft office or iWorks 12. Interests: Remove technology trends unless you can be more specific what type of technology are you interested in. Seems a bit vague, if you can be more specific it will stand out more. Otherwise remove.
Font bigger, margins smaller.
Ah fuck it...just use the M&I template. The aesthetics are not good.
