Resume critique:
THE CONTENT OF YOUR RESUME
It looks like your resume includes a career summary instead of an objective statement. Based on your level of experience, we recommend starting your resume with an objective statement, which is more common for recent graduates and candidates who are earlier in their careers. An objective statement is important in setting the tone of your resume and providing a clear, concise summary of your professional goals.
Unfortunately, your existing resume gives the impression that you are a "doer" and not an "achiever." Too many of your job descriptions are task-based and not results-based - telling what you did, rather than illustrating what you achieved. Employers and recruiters are looking for results-oriented resumes that help them envision how you could be an asset to their organizations. Your resume needs to show how you've made a difference or exceeded expectations, preferably with quantifiable information or data.
THE STRUCTURE OF YOUR RESUME
The structure of your resume is lacking in organization and consistency, which will hurt your chances of getting contacted for an interview. Hiring managers spend literally seconds on a resume before deciding whether to explore it further or move on to the next. You want to make it easy for them to quickly scan and digest the content within each section.
Bullets draw the eye of the reader and allow them to focus in on the most important elements of your experience. You have done a nice job of leveraging bullets within the experience section of your resume.
ADDITIONAL POINTERS ABOUT YOUR RESUME
Based on your industry and your level of experience, the length of your resume appears to be right in line with your competition ( your resume is about 514 words). While it is important to have the correct spacing for margins left/right and top/bottom, it is equally as important to have that good balance of content for the reader.
Nice job, you have listed your work experience in the right order (reverse chronological), with your most recent experience first. You should also try to qualify and quantify your past accomplishments whenever possible to give them greater impact.
In your resume, you incorporated personal pronouns. This is something that you should consider changing. Personal pronouns (I, me, my, etc.) should be avoided as they are not necessary and may be a bit awkward. In fact, many recruiters and hiring managers consider it incorrect and unprofessional.
We noticed that you are not completely consistent in your resume with your verb tense. It is very important to pay close attention to your use of past and present tense. Mixing the two is confusing and can make you appear unprofessional. It also shows a lack of attention to detail which will be a red flag for employers considering you for an open position.
You should consider using your first and/or last name in your email address. Your email address should be professional so that it does not raise any flags with hiring managers. We also recommend that you avoid using underscores (_) and the numbers "1" and "0" to help prevent your email address from being typed incorrectly.
