Trading Resume Critique

Hello to everyone,
A littler background for this post: I spent most of last year trying to find a trading position in Chicago. After awhile, and leaning on some quality contacts I have at the CBOT, I wasn't able to find a trading position so I took a career elsewhere. Now, through close contacts, I may have an opportunity to interview (with a strong internal endorsement) for an entry level trading position at a major energy company. This is the resume I put together, please let me know your thoughts, tips, critiques or helpful info I can use to improve it in any way possible. Keep in mind I left out some personal info such as contact/location for privacy reasons. Thank you!!

Pardon me, I don't know what a WIP is. I'm not worried about the layout so much as the content. I've had a good deal of professional success and I've made good money for someone 2 years out of college, but my trading knowledge is obviously limited. I took a class that involved aggregating qualitative data and coding it into quantitative stats (which I bullet in the resume). I've completed the CBOE options courses, paper traded for awhile, and I'm a dedicated student of the markets for an amateur. I'm trying to determine if I can add any keywords, bullet points, additional info, anything I can highlight or mention to make my resume stand out from other would-be entry level traders.
