Second Draft

This draft took BIG4's input into consideration, added my business-to-business experience at BDI, and blatantly stole BIG4's format. I changed the individual job summaries to a single line explaining my company's attributes relevant to selling a high end product like solar or wind. Any and all input is greatly appreciated.

Note
how can you exceed store sales? Should this be store sales expectations?
Note
You need more detail and need to keep things consistent, bullet-by-bullet.
Note
Very nice sentence structure here. And well done quantifying your resume work experience.
Note
You need to have more detail here. What degrees did you get? its unclear.
Note
The line spacing is inconsistent throughout. You should update this to be consistent.
Note
I would say something like "developed and conducted training" or "designed and implemented." Im not sure I would go into the specifics like "body language."
Note
"Resulting in high rate of premium-line growth and increased business for regional distributors."
Note
Exceeded
Note
Rewrite this to "Launched new premium, high margin fixture line." You can add "including merchandising," but it may not be necessary
Note
Again, Id like to see a stronger verb to start the bullet. "Initiated" is on the right track, but how about "Created?"
Note
This looks a little awkward. I might rewrite to "Annapolis, MD and Bethesda, MD" and then put parenthetically which location you held each title after the title, below.
Note
I dont understand how these two sets of dates are the same?
Note
I would tighten this up a bit, and try to use a stronger word than "coordinated." How about "oversaw" or "responsible for"?
Note
I think its fine to just say "Experience." I think that "work" or "professional" just adds unnecessary text.
Note
Baltimore
Note
I try not to use "UMBC," because Im afraid it makes people think its a community college.
Note
Id reorder these with Environmental Studies on top. The dates are fine, although I would encourage you to put "B.A." or "B.S." or whatever it is you WILL earn, and put an anticipated date. (e.g. Anticipated 2009). If someone glosses over and thinks you already have the degree, thats their mistake, not yours.

Fireinthesky, very nice improvement over your prior resume. I agree, however, with ruthless, you need to pay more attention to your bullet point details. Exceeding 2006 store sales is not a very clear sentence. Focus on keeping your sentence length consistent. None the less, your format has moved in the right direction. I'd suggest doing some more research by viewing top rated resumes on Razume in your field. Additionally, make sure to request reviews on Razume from knowledgeable peers who could help provide more advice (use the email this resume box to the right of each resume), Best of luck.

put education first since you want a environmental related position put most recent accomplishments first when talking about exceeding sales, increase the font of the stores so it stands out a bit more don't ever put "hitting" on your resume unless your applying for a baseball position, and BE consistent because on the top you list the months at your job but in prior jobs, you only listed the year...
