You really should be more careful about sharing your full name, phone number, and address on here.
Take down your resume and make a new account asap - post you resume with "your personal info. here" for any sensitive information Name, #, Address, School, etc. Don't identify yourself.
Name, email, address, and university. BRO WHAT ARE U DOING ?
You might as well include your social security too. Are you fr dude? take down your resume before it's sold to some hacker or something. It's internet man, can't be putting stuff with with so much personal info.
OMG! I just took it down.. I'll re upload it in a bit. Thanks for the quick feedback..

Every bullet point should start with a past tense verb, so change lines like "Six figures sales" to something like "Generated sales in the amount of XXX". Also, you have "helped" listed twice, replace one of them to say "assisted" or some other synonym.
Consider putting your GPA out of 4.0 so " 3.6/4.0"
Consider formatting the dates as "Dec" instead of "December", it will look a bit cleaner.
Remember, keep formatting consistent. Maybe consider removing community college. If you decide to keep it fix the dates to show when you left/graduated.
Under skills and interest remove "(been to 15 countries)" in most interviews they will ask you about your interests and that would be a good talking point. Consider adding some more unique interests. Opposed to saying classical music, list a specific artist.
Under projects, you have to keep the formatting consistent. For example, you have Deloitte case competition, you should list "semi-finalist" directly underneath it as your title.
Thanks for the advice! I agree with your recommendations. My thinking for the interests section was if I included "(been to 15 countries)", it would show that I was an avid traveler and maybe spark more interests to talk about it.

From a first glance, make sure all verbs are in the same tense (under the Bank teller section there were some present tense and some past tense). I personally like having all past tense. Also, if you use a comma, make sure there is a subject in the second half of the sentence or simply remove the comma (again saw this error under the bank teller section)
Also, very minor point here, but avoid using two of the same verbs in a row (i.e. 'help' followed by 'help' in the next line). Mix it up, maybe use assisted or aided or really any synonym
I should of noticed that. Thank you!
Take off "Sports", and a sport or two you're interested in. For me, I have "'minor league baseball". Try to be specific with your interests.
Got all this done. I'm open to any critical opinions that are helpful too.
