Just thought I'd add my suggestion(s). Overall the resume looks good, but here are a few tips.

I agree about the age/experience thing that others have mentioned...perhaps turn into an objective and back it up with the skills/attitude you know you can offer ot the employer.

I also find that long paragraphs (aside from the objective section) usually don't fit well in a resume. Waht I learned is that many (if not most) employers prefer a clear and concise format - especially if they are likely to look at a lot of resumes. In fact, most of them would only have enough time to skim through each resume quickly. So...instead of describing a list of skills and duties in paragraph format, try making bulleted lists of the skills you have thus far - and include what kind of software/PC skills you have experience with. Same thing goes for the job history...here's where you can back up your expreience with said software.

Just my two cents.

Dont use all those long paragraphs describing your experience and your achievements. Use a bulletted list instead with as few words as possible. When someone looks at resumes, they have to read a bunch of them. Therefore, those that can be read and understand the most quickly will stand out and be more likely to get an interview than a long, drawn out resume.

Also, work on personalizing it for the actual job you are applying for. The first thing in your resume should be what you are looking for in a job. This should be taylored to every job that you apply for. Therefore, remove the section about you and replace it with this. The employer will already know how old you are from the application and the cover letter should show all of your outstanding qualities. It does not have to be reiterated in the resume then.

Good luck and if you want more professional advice about it, PM me or let me know.
