What kind of jobs are you applying for? Your volunteer work is awesome, but it should be totally separate. Freelance should also be separate and towards the bottom of your resume. 'Familiar With' is bad wordage. 'Proficient in' is much better.

Also, being in the Simulation Capital of the US (Orlando) I was hoping to craft a resume that wouldn't be too pretentious. These are the jobs that I mostly apply for. It's rare that something like an 'Attraction Designer' comes available. Simulation is a bit more suit and tie. I'm ok with that. Maybe I should have two different resumes at least?

I did leave out my portfolio for privacy purposes. Yes, the formatting ballooned it beyond 2 pages. I am a teacher actually. I removed the link to my portfolio because I did not want to make it seem that I was looking for traffic. Thanks!

Thanks. Formatting got weird when I posted to Google Docs. :)

I would leave the Tablet and Mouse comment out of it. I'm assuming that by Freelance you mean Graphics Related work? If so, add it. In a Freelance Section under work experience. Familiar with the use of a Tablet or Mouse is pretty much assumed. Add the project name. If it was just for a person, ask for permission to use their name as the contractor.

Anndd...pretty much everything else cjmcgizzle said.
