Thanks to everyone who has been helping me with this resume since it's so hard to make one when I lack relevant experience. I attached my cover letter and resume and would love HARSH reviews, it's not going to hurt my feelings and I would rather you guys tell me than the person I'm sending it to.
Thanks in advance!

Who is still taking a 1600
Who is still taking a 1600 2-part SAT? There are some nitpicky formatting things I would change, but I actually think this looks pretty good.

Thanks so much for the feedback. Replaced line with "•Proposed a solution to improve search engine results based on Algorithm Analysis/Search Engine Optimization, and successfully implemented solution through managerial approval, and contributed to the innovation of the firm by reducing search errors related to misrouted query results." There's no concrete number I have quantifying what I did while working, so there's nothing close I could add close to that unfortunately. Also I added my fraternity to activities.
Anything else?
Nitpicky formatting thing
Nitpicky formatting thing that isn't a big deal, but I would put the dates on the same line as the company, rather than your title
