    COSMOPOLITAN CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME V2 [PDF]

    i went over your resume, first off your margins are too large, extended them out by a lot and this would really solve everything and you can easily be on 1 page.

    i suggest you follow or 'frankestien' your own resume from the examples i provided you or use them straight up. these are the professional industry standards with building resumes, make good usage of ACTION words to begin each achievement you have accomplished and dont repeat any ACTION word twice.

    try to not describe yourself in first person as you are not the person reading the CV, make it 3rd person so the reader can assosciate with it easier rather than thinking oh this person is rather conceited...

    do not use titles for categories like "EMPLOYMENT HISTORY"

    change to 'PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE'

    I dont understand the need to advise anyone of your driving record... unless you are to be a delivery boy for a pizza joint take that out.

    i may have other comments, i may not... but over all you need to fix everything and change the layout and make it overall more professional.

    if i had received your resume i would just throw it out as its too busy and all over the place and the content is centered only with tiny margins and 2 pages?!!? you dont even have that much work experience to have 2 pages, so keep it to 1.

    good luck.
