    I'm drowning in bullet points! I found myself saying after the first page, "Ok... but what have you done and who for?" That question was answered later on and answered pretty well, but I had to dig for it which defeats the purpose. You've got some great accomplishments listed, but where were you when they were acquired? Tons of great points but no context for them.

    The most important part of a resume is showing not only what you did, but how you excelled in each position. This is what makes a great resume stand out. For example: One of the first items you listed was maintaining gaming contracts. When you took the job, was this task fully developed? Did you organize this task to be more efficient? Can you measure the time saved by using your system? Can you put a dollar figure on that? Try to think to the next level on your line items. Break down each job into its CORE functionalities, list those briefly, then make th bulk of your resume about what you did to succeed, not just what you did.

    ...but how did you excel within these positions? Have you won any awards? I see way down at the bottom that you consistently exceeded sales quotas. By how much? Were you the best? Throw some number-weight behind that statement and you've got a winner. You've effectively answered one of the two questions that a resume should address (What did I do; How did I do it well?). Try condensing your responsibilities into a concise paragraph, then bullet point your accomplishments below.

    Great stuff in this one. I'm assuming that you've not used bullet points to keep the document down to two pages, but I think it retracts from the readability. Also, I'd contend that there may be TOO much information here. You've got a great pool to pull from, just show off the best as opposed to absolutely everything.

    I know that razume breaks down documents into more pages than they originally are, but if your resume is multi-page, make sure your contact information is at the top of all pages. There are some formatting issues on here, mainly with tabs. I see a few accomplishments and a few duties. You may find it beneficial to think of each job listing as an opportunity to answer two questions for your future employer: What did I do and How did I do it well? Try a brief paragraph outlining responsibilities followed by bullet points of your accomplishments in that position.

    Great use of action words beginning each line. Overall pretty strong just coming out of school.
