Get rid of the the activities. You aren't 16 anymore.

Get rid of the Objective. You aren't 22, and have had jobs before.
Reformat the header info to make it more conservative. (ERIK MCCANN in massive central font is a bit...pretentious.)
Experience section, line 1: "for OUR global network"
Fix formatting to avoid floating commas and other unappealing glitches

in addition to what they said I don't think "technical prowess" is the best phrase to put in there. do not capitalize diagnoses or data recovery

oo thanks, but really, get rid of objective? i mean things are a tad light as is

 

[Sarcasmo]

Fix out of place caps to make everything uniform. They WILL notice. I did.

edit: Fuck off, Semper.

hehe

The objective line is for kids out of college. I have never seen it on a professional adult's resume. It's a bit juvenile.

You may as well just write "Objective: Get a job"

keep the activities section and change your likes to pony rides and dressing like a creepy clown.

i don't even have objective on mine,

thanks to ape

 

[Sarcasmo]

They will know what your intent is when you apply for the particular job. They won't need an objective to explain your motivation.

 

[I.C.Water]

got it

Half-page resumes go unnoticed, multiple page resumes go unread.

Fluff up your sections a little bit. And, honestly, adding some lines between the header and body would probably make it look a lot better.

Ironically, my activities section has given me two interviews recently (they said as much)

You should fix formatting. A new line shouldn't begin with a comma. And you barely describe what you did (or did you really not do much?)

I think your skills should be up near the top. Also you mention Adobe CS, you should probably mention which versions you have worked with. (also makes the latter part of that line redundant though)

 

[I.C.Water]

lines? like spaces of graphical?

ya, double spacing and whatnot

also, justify yo lines. it'll add bulk and make it easier to read
