It's definitely original!



Also, change Reference Upon Requested to Reference Upon Request.

I would place education near the bottom, if it isn't called for. You also have education placed twice on this resume.



I would start with your name, phone number and email address at the very top. Then an objective. This would include a brief outline of what you are looking for in a career, have this tailor made for the position your applying for.



Then your employment information, unless clean dishes and sweeping floors is the only thing you have. Elaborate a bit more about your New Westminster Kumon South position. Remember, tailor it to the position you are applying for.



Then your awards/achievements.



Then you Skills/Abilities



And leave the References Upon Requested off of it. Every employer assumes that they will receive references when requested. Instead, see if you can have your past employer and some of your professors provide you with reference letters. Anyone else that you know holding a good position with a company, and has been there awhile also provide you with one. You'll take all those letters and type of a sheet with there contact names and numbers, and provide the employer with a copy. You need for them to speak with all your references because you lack employment history.



Otherwise it looks good.

Here are my suggestions:



Remove one of those two mentions of "Education". If you graduated, mention this "Graduated with diploma", "Graduated in top five of my class" or something like that.



Place an apostrophe in "student's work", insert the word "completed" before data entry, don't capitalize "data", pull that last comma before "and helped ..." and replace the mentioning of "and helped students ..." with the word "tutored".



With the Aurora Bistro work, can you dress this up a little more? Did you do any customer service work? Answer the telephone and take reservations? Serve as host/hostess? You could try something like, "Operated dishwashing equipment in busy bistro, ensured dishes were clean and sanitized for public use. Kept dishwashing area clean and organized. Also helped with general janitorial duties when required."



Also with the bistro work, state how long you worked there for. Were you promoted? Hired part-time and then offered full-time hours? Can you show your employer valued you?



Change "Skills and Ability" to "Skills and Abilities".



Replace "English Fluent" and "Chinese Fluent" with one sentence reading "Fluent in English and Chinese".



Replace "Reference Upon Requested" with "References Upon Request".



Try bolding your section headings so they stand out more.



Have you done any volunteer work? If so, list this as well.

I used this resume writing service in my area, this is the email address, (resume.help50@yahoo.com) you should try them, it only cost me $35.00 and I got a great job from this new resume, I never thought about the format that they use but the turn around time was less then 24 hrs. I would have to say it was the best service I have ever used and it was worth every dime. Also they let me pay through paypal.

First off, you have your education listed twice. Move it to the bottom of your resume. Next, list your job titles and dates of employment. An objective may also help, but make it interesting. HR people see a lot of resumes, you want yours to be memorable. There are lots of websites that offer resume templates, do a web search.



Good luck!
