I would rather see you pick one solid position in the fraternity and expand on how it was a leadership position and then have an activities section at the bottom where you can quickly list off some of your other positions. IE. Why was being secretary a leadership position?
Very cool site! Well done, best of luck with your venture. Please keep the Razume Community updated on your success! info@razume.com
Most top resumes do not have an objective, its mostly up to you. If you do keep it make sure its tailored to the job and even specific employer you are trying to impress.
Remove this Internship header, you should have all your employment experience under a category called "Work Experience" or "Experience".
Remove References. This can be addressed in a cover letter if needed. Most employers will let you know if they want references, its not necessary for your resume.
You need to work on the overall flow of the content in your resume. You should also add more detailed sentences that start with action words: "Planned" "Organzied" "Executed" etc. You can also enhance the content of your resume by adding Numbers, Dollar Amounts and amounts of time to describe your experience.
Build your bullet points like an upside down pyramid. Most bullet points per experience item on top, fewest bullet points on bottom.
I would align the dates further to the right.
Place the content under the header instead of next to it. That way you leave less room for confusion
What leadership did you bring to these organizations? Just holding a position does not constitute as leadership. What accomplishments did you have in your roles?
If an employer wants references, they will ask. You can remove this and utilize the space for more content.
too many bullets here, condense
This should be under experience as well
This should also be under experience
remove and replace with interests or something else. Doesnt add anything.
layout here is a bit confusing
remove, too bland
condense this
Include test scores if relevant
Clear up formatting at the very least between this and the next point. I would condense these to a seperate section such as other activities, as if you dont have anything more than member to say, its not really leadership
Dont need to list dates twice, maybe not at all.
This three-column format for your education is a little odd and disorganized. I would try to keep it simpler and easier to read.
Be sure to delete this second blank page. It could just be an extra carriage return after "Available upon request" that you need to delete.

See text blurbs for clarification. I believe this resume needs some re organizing as well. Emphasize internships, and work experience. Leadership experiences should be elaborated upon.
Dan, you're off to a good start, but you can make tremendous improvements. I would start with revamping your format, then focusing on content later. The biggest thing I see off the bat: You're missing locations for your work experience. That is so key in this global economy! Where is News Channel 8? Every city has a news Channel 8--get my point. Take a look at some top rated resumes in the community for a better idea of what really succeeds. See my text bubbles for more details. Best of luck with your venture!
1) you do not want a bullet mark next to Marketing and Sales Intern Channel 8 ...
2) Word "Experience" should say "Work Experience"
3) move Farms Country Club up under work exp. section.
3) get rid of reference section, in todays world this is understood that you will provide references if asked to. I feel it has no value being on the resume.
It is hard to judge this due to a lack of description of what it is your seeking to do. The formatting leaves a bit to be desired but can easily be fixed. Sit down and brain storm what tangible accomplishments you have that can be put on here. The resume is the first interview and you won't be there to anwser questions when a potential employer reviews it. That's why it helps to have results listed that will make the employer say "I have to meet this person". The more content you can fit on one page, the better. Good luck!

Move education experience to the bottom. Strengthen the objective. Be cautious of all the white space, a lack of content may indicate a lack of experience. I think your leadership experience is strong, move that closer to the top (or switch with the placement of education). You can remove the references section (this is assumed). There are no hard numbers or metrics in your resume that would justify hiring you at 55K to 60k a year, your current salary expectation is not reflective of your ability. Unless, perhaps you left things out of your resume that would indicate this type of investment in you as an employee. Try to indicate any numbers/metrics that you can that show the value you bring to a job. Familiarize yourself with the concept of "adding-value" and use this to help strengthen your resume. Hope this insight helps, it is not meant to sound harsh. Best of luck on your job search.
