You have organized the resume appropriately, including separating sections using lines and
clearly identifying each section using the upper case (capital letters). Using lines and capital
letters improves the resume’s readability, thus, making it easier for recruiters or potential
employers to distinguish the different sections of the resume: experience, education, awards and
honors, organizations, and volunteer experience.
However, there are two things you can do to make the resume more organized and readable. The
first change is to remove the spacing between work experience and volunteer experience. It is
unnecessary to have the “volunteer experience” section begin on the 3 rd page instead of
immediately after the heading “Dor. Mitchell L Weinstein Primary and GI care.” The way it
appears now, the reader might assume there is no more information on the third page, thereby
forgetting or refusing to continue to the third page. Secondly, you can introduce a larger font size
for the main headings, including education, work experience, awards and honors, organizations,
and volunteer experience. This can improve the resume’s readability.

The sections are divided accurately. You have used bold on the headings to indicate different
areas.
The italics used make it difficult to read. It would be best if you considered changing the font
size and style.

The one positive thing from the resume is that you have managed to include your experience,
education, and skills. This information is critical because it identifies your educational
background, qualifications, and experience. The second positive is that you have provided
adequate contact information (email, phone number, and address) that recruiters can use to
request clarification or notify you of your selection for the job. You could add any certifications
to improve your score.

However, you can improve the resume by adding two or three referees or references. Most
employers value referees because they provide third-party viewpoints about the value you as an
employee would add to the team if recruited. Contacting references is usually the last step
potential employers consider before hiring. Secondly, you can add a “resume objective” to
provide a snapshot to the recruiters in 2-3 sentences of your professional achievements, skills,
experience, and hobbies. A resume objective is an eye-catching statement on the resume’s top
section.

words and numbers
The first positive I can draw is that you have indicated the dates you started and stopped working
in different organizations and serving in specific positions. This can assist recruiters in
estimating your years of experience. Additionally, you have indicated the teams and years you
participated and won different awards and honors. For example, you were the SUNYAC Pitcher
of the year in 2015 and 2017.
However, I believe you need to make two changes. Firstly, you need to indicate the start and
finish dates for the educational program you pursued at the State University of New York at
Cortland; when did you begin and graduate. This can tell potential employers whether you
graduated recently and how long it took to complete your course. Secondly, when describing
your work experience, you need to use appropriate “action words” when describing the
responsibilities or tasks you completed or participated in different organizations. For example, at
Racker Center, you can say, “helped to maintain a fun and interactive classroom, and assisted
teachers to help children grow….”
