What can I do to make my resume better?

Can you please critique my resume and help me make it much better?

  • I'm a 19 year old college student who desperately needs to find work soon. The problem I have is that my resume is not quite up to scratch. I've never had any help at all in writing a resume, so I already know that it needs work. If you can, would you mind providing some feedback in order for me to make it better? I'm editing out my personal information so random people don't find out my name and where I live. Name Street City Postal Code Phone Number e-mail Employment Goal To gain new skills and experience Education University second year Work Experience Blockbuster co-op, September 2008-January 2009 Assisted in store upkeep Checked rentals and stocked them on shelves Elementary School Custodian, July-August 2009 Washed windows Cleaned classrooms with other custodians Took out garbage Volunteer Experience Seniors Computer Class Assistant, July 2008 Assisted seniors who had difficulties with the class Children’s Fun and Fitness Expo Volunteer, September 2008 Assisted with set up and take down Guided people to the correct area Skills Excellent computer skills Works well with people and alone Good communication skills Able to keep calm under pressure Determined Analytical Interests Community theatre, bike riding, reading, writing, and volunteer work Like I said, it needs work, so I'd appreciate any kind and constructive criticism. Some of the jobs I would be applying for would be at department stores and some will be online, so I need to know how to customize my resume effectively for whatever type of job I apply for. If it helps, I am double majoring in drama and psychology.
