Can anyone edit or give advice on my resume?!?!PLEASE!!!?

You are talented. This resume is too wordy.

Here are a few thoughts.

"from which I can evolve into a career" isn't what you want to say, unless you are going to turn into a career, rather than have one.

Try:

To obtain a position with career potential as a buyer or visual merchandiser in the fashion industry.

You don't list the school you attend (who cares which campus?)

Skills:

Fluent Spanish Speaker

(drop the typing unless you want to be a typist)

Software experience includes: Microsoft Office, Quickbooks, ACT, Photoshop

Job descriptions: Tighten up the language

September 2001 - May 2002

Bilingual Clerk/Aide in [WHAT PLACE? YOU SHOULD LIST IT - WHAT IS ARD - no one will know] Houston, TX

Responsibilities include: preparation of graphics materials for meetings and reports (if that is accurate from your description), data entry into SASI, general office tasks, translation assistance for clients and staff, and meeting preparation for WHATEVER ARDs are.

Make sure I don't lead you to say anything untrue. More verbs, fewer nouns. Stress the visual arts experience

Move the course list off the resume (highlight it only) and attach a transcript if necessary. No reason not to list core classes if relevant.

What's your GPA and why isn't it on here?

I hope this helps

Get ready to get a job
very impressive! well done
Wow - skills look great.

Now - tell me about yourself - Is the standard question.

They want to see your people skills.

Tell them how your "team skills" are working - did you love working with others - and love serving the public?

Have you supervised others and found that relying on their responsibility after proper training - HELPED YOU IN YOUR JOB - that shows that you can train people, and hold them accountable and they come through for you.

I think you are definitely an asset to any corporation, and I want you to feel that - and tell them that!

GOD bless us one and all, always.

I think the first paragraph should read:

Core curriculum courses inclulding: Merchandising, Fashion study, retailing and buying......

As far as your experience goes, leave something to talk about at the interview....don't give them everything. You want to be able to have something to present of yourself.

Remember, the person reading this has probably received many CVs and a one page "summary" that will catch their eye is the best way to go.

Good luck as it sounds as if you are well qualified for any job for which you apply.
It lists what you have done but says nothing about what you will do. Where is the cover letter?
As a former Head Hunter just from a glance it's a little to much. I can be honest or sugar coat it, but I think you're looking for honesty.

Some suggestions: List your skills first, especially your language skills in today's market that's a valuable asset. Then your computer skills and last your accomplishment. I suggest, your tour travel to France that's a very important highlight. Some school of thoughts on objectives, some say it good, other would rather here you explain in your own words what you are looking for in a career.

Next list your experience. For your bookkeeper position remove the objective statement.

Use terms like "I was responsible for; I oversaw, I ran, I created and maintained or updated. I assisted" here's your opportunity to state your accomplishments make it meaty, but not wordy. Make each statement bullet pointed so as to highlight your abilities.

Second suggestions, remove your core circ. list these are things you can elaborate on during your interview.

For education: some school of thoughts say that should be the first thing, some say after your skill sets and others favor last. If your coming straight out of school, I suggest right after skill sets, List the name of the school, and your graduation and expection graduation date. Each school accomplishment should listed separate.

List: major: and list your major

minor: and list your minor

some companies are interested in your gpa, at some point you're going to need a second one that list your gpa.

Your resume will grow as you grow through your career. I hope this help. Best of luck.
I'll start.

[Follow this format with the rest of your information. That will give you a rough draft that you can take to your school's Student Placement Office where someone can help you polish it.]

Good luck!!

I see that the program has removed most of my actual formatting, so Bold the headings and align them on the left margin; indent the names of schools/companies; further indent the lists of courses/duties/skills; bullet the lists; align the dates on the right margin.
Your current resume appears to be a functional resume. With all of your experience you can create a chronological resume.

Start with the heading name address phone number e-mail etc.

State your objective: make your objective job related, and make it be for the position you are seeking.

Next start by listing all the job you had in the past star with the present one or the latest one you have. start with the year and put to present if you are still working there.

Make sure you bullet each of your task at each employment this way it will be easy to read.

List your education and degree

List your skills, and language

List any training you have accomplished or participated in.

You can list any awards you have received also.

use power words in your reasume at each position like:

Saved the company

Implemmented

Coordinated

Team building

Train

Attained

and so on, use words that will bring out the expert in you.

Good Luck!, Buena Suerte,
