Amanda, overall I think you have a great resume! It reads really well and all the information is presented consistently. The one area I was looking for (as will most employers) is a skills section. Although many recent grads have a similar skillset when it comes to computers, unfortunately leaving that information off can literally mean you don't get selected for an interview. That's because employers use keyword searching and often look for specific software applications or simply require basic computer skills (which I'm sure you have considering you managed to post your resume on Razume :). Anyway, I think you should consider a skills section with languages and computer skills--and be sure to include any computer applications you've worked with that are used in the marketing field--macs, adobe, powerpoint, etc. Additionally, you'll want to make sure everything fits nicely on one page. Therefore, to get things down to one page, I recommend taking out some of your non-essential bullet points for your work experience. Generally, I recommend 5-6 bullets for your most recent job, 3-4 bullets for older jobs and 1-2 bullets for your oldest experience. Best of luck and be sure to send this link around to others and request suggestions on your resume/referrals for positions (especially from those in the marketing field).

Amanda, One brief, but important, suggestion would be to modify your statements to emphasize what you ACCOMPLISHED, not what you DID. Example: Instead of "Led creative, development, planning and execution of promotional tactics...", can you quantify what these activities achieved? Maybe... "Increased customer acquisition by XY% by leading the creation, development, planning and execution of promotional activities..." Good luck.
