Could someone quickly look over my resume? I'm terrible at this!

Oh wow! You guys are great . Thanks, there's so much good information here.

burbuja: Thank you for your solid informative posts, I know the short work periods are a problem...I'm not sure how to mitigate it. T-Mobile was, frankly, completely unbearable, and I only left techforless to start my own business. When it comes up in the interview (and I'm sure it will) what is a good way to say "this job was not for me"? I was miserable on the phones, and I felt like the company took advantage of people (customers, not employees). There was no disagreement with my boss or co-workers, I got along with everybody, but it was just the job (and possibly the company in a handful of aspects) I hated!

Finally, thanks for the compliment, I'm only 22, so struggling with a resume isn't too embarrassing for me. I know I'm not good at it, and I'm so thankful for your help!

blu2blu: I'm very embarrassed for the spelling error, but as it turns out apparently costumer is also a word (according to office spell-check). I'm going to speculate and say it is one who produces, or wears costumes....*facepalm @ self*.

hmuchmo1: Excellent, I will try and incorporate more active voice and meaningful word choice.

Alleycat: Does this still apply when I'm only 22? My AP, honors and GPA are some of the things I've worked hardest on

marianne202: Thanks for the links! Also, how does one make their personality shine through on a resume?

PS. @ marianne202:
Could you give me an example of what I could say in the objective section? I'm pulling a blank, I always thought that was where I said what I wanted and not the company...I'm not sure how to rephrase it.

Regarding T-Mobile - just leave it off. It is not considered a lie to omit non-relevant work experience. Just like eventually you will have enough experience and will not want to include your restaurant industry jobs because they will become irrelevant once you are in the workforce for a few more years. Talk about the great things that you bring to the table and don't focus on a short period of time at a job that didn't work out.

Overall your experience and education is not bad at all for your age! Once you get the resume polished up a bit, I'm sure you'll do really well!

All right, I polished it up a bit and sent it in. Please keep the comments coming, I am not done with it yet, but I needed to get this copy in tonight. You guys were extremely helpful!
