Resume Help

Personally I think the layout is unappealing. Find a different template online. Remove the top paragraph, put Spanish in the skills section.

Also raise your GPA by .2, saying 3.0 sounds fake unless that's what you actually got, in which case keep adding digits like 3.0XX

way too much fucking text

Will do. I've been looking for a better template.

I literally just added that restaurant bit to see what it would look like. On paper this was about 1 1/3 pages. Will cut down.

You need a lot more white space, nobody will bother reading all of that.

In the 'Manager' section, you need better parallelism ..

* Maintained employee schedules
* Managed employee hiring and training

Keep it as short and sweet as possible and as parallel as possible..

In your lists, condense them all to single lines, not large sentences like you have. Your resume should be something that is easily read in less than a minute or two.

Education
Professional Experience (experience that directly correlates to the job being applied for)
Related Experience (any extra stuff that has some transferable skills like customer service, team building)
Achievements (preferably in your field)
Skills (programs, language)
Professional Development (might not need this, but it looks good if you attend conferences and workshops to improve yourself)

I wouldn't even bother putting my GPA if it's less than 3.5.

OP here.

I made a new format for my resume. Took out the GPA. Cut down about half of the text. Added references. Added scholarships. Moved the Spanish to skills.

Any other thoughts on this?

I'm not one for an objective. They know why you're applying and what you're applying for. No one want to entertain your 2 sentence masterbation. But it does take up space.

Most places ask for a cover letter now so I have a general 'custom' format for each. I could take out the objective, and add another job, but it would be a completely irrelevant job.

Break the paragraphs into bullet points.

Put education first then follow with experience then related experience. Use bullet points.

References aren't usually given at this point because most references won't give out information if they hear you haven't been given an interview yet (some legal backlash). You can just state References available upon request.
