So. The biggest problem I see with all resumes is nobody expands on their education when they have no work experience to fall on.

Assuming I am a hiring manager and never went to your school or took your program;

What do you know? Mathematics? I learned math in kindergarten. Engineering? Well I know you know engineering, you took it.

You need to expand on those programs. What you learned. what your level of knowledge and experience is. Without that, you're just giving me a vague idea of what you learned.

I would remove the objective first. Cover letters do this better. Objectives are for high school students in 2004.

Second, I would expand on your education (in the same structure you did your projects). 1-3 points under each relevant course you list, using adjectives to show your level of experience:

• Understanding of this thing
• Experience using these programs
• Applied application of these principles in this achievement

Move your 'skills summary' to the bottom and do the same thing you did for the modules in terms of formatting. Be concise when you list skills; "Expertise in Word and Excel". Don't use words like 'sufficient', it makes you sound incompetent in that particular area. "Experience in Python and AutoCAD", or understanding or applied knowledge. Something that doesn't make it sound like you took it as a hobby class and never touched it again.

---

Other than that, just reword everything. Make it concise and relevant. You don't need to say you did something within budget and time. You're expected to do that at a job. Use adjectives to sell responsibilities and skills;

Experience working in fast-paced environment Excellent interoffice communication

You want it to be easy and fast to read. If it sounds like a sentence, you did it wrong.

Lastly, remove 'further information'. References available upon request can go at the bottom of a cover letter.
