Looks good, just download an outline for a resume on microsoft word and fill it in, the only drawback would be being overqualified for the job you are going for, if thats the case trim some of the extras like your awards and international accomplishments and things like that.Please help with my resume. 10 points for the best advice.

You need to re-organize your content according to your strengths and education. You have a better educational and development section then you do work experience, so place greater emphasis on your education.





So, going from top to bottom:





1. Personal and contact info





2. Education and Development





3. Work Experience





4. Everything else.





Another thing, remember to use present tense for current job(s) and past for anything that is over with (Lots of people mess up on that).





Finally, tailor EVERY cover letter to whatever position your applying for.





Good luck.
you need a spellchecker, 2 typos I noticed off the bat

Wow! U are really really telented if u have dine all taht i really wish i could when i grow up. Now u are like my idol
When a CV is written, it should be with one objective. The objective of a cv is to get you an interview and not a job. Getting the job part is yours (dont put too much pressure on the CV, poor paper eh!) . Hence the content should be in that way. I notice that in the current matter above -you have mentioned explicitly what you are doing and what you do daily. This is not good in a way when every one says the same thing - what I do. the ideal way is to have a mix of what you did and what you have accomplished or capable of. now for ex:


Events management; organising all aspects of internal and external functions


You could have made this to '; Managed x number of events in past year with several cross departments for external and internal functions.


The point here is when you put facts and figures like a number or a % of sales volume achieved or a number of increase in turn over - this gives people an easy way to remember your accomplishment and measure your capability. Also it will prompt them to call you for a face to face interview and ask you - from what % you have increased the volume of sales or you have mentioned x nnumber of events - where and how (probing questions on interviews).





so always keep in mind to twist the words, i am not asking you to twist the facts / truth - but to twist the words such a way that the prince charming should kiss the frog thinking that the frog is julia roberts. and as always this is the hard part - writing up the frog to look like julia roberts.





I could give more pointers but it might take time since i dont do this often any more.
I think the only thing that really needs to be done is removing these things:


-the guest speaker was the First Secretary of the Consulate General of Japan in New York, Fall 2005.





-a benefit for the post-tsunami support of schools and living facilities for the orphans in Thailand, Summer 2005.





-organized an educational trip to Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Spring 2004.





They provide TOO MUCH detailed information. Your resume is already long enough. Some employers will look right over your resume because of the simple fact that it is too long. When chosing your words use strong ones. If you feel that the things I mentioned are important then fill them in if they ask at a interview when looking over your resume. I'm sure they will bring up the fact that you have had international accomplishments. That would be the time to expend on those points. Try to keep your resume short and sweet.
