Try to quantify things more and be a little less vague.
"Computer skills" What do you know specifically? For example: Bad: I ran the budget. Good: Managed a $3 million marketing budget by approving expenditures, submitting accruals, etc. |

My resume is TOTALLY different from yours, being a science guy with most of my resume composed of research and papers etc, but from what I can see..
be specific with computer skills. everyone has "computer skills". can you graph, perform functions, etc in excel? do you know java/html coding? or can you just figure out how to use headers in microsoft word :P the dates and locations of your previous jobs and experiences would be nice, but of course you might have blocked those for privacy. numbers are always better than words lastly, this might sound corny, but have you heard of visualcv.com? You can enter your information and using a variety of templates, as well as many customization options, craft your own CV/resume. It spits our your resume in webpage and PDF formats, and it's not totally visual, and it's not tacky either. It conveys everything you need to convey in an easy to read, visually pleasing format. If you're applying to a company with dozens of other applications, who do you think is going to be remembered more? The qualified guy with a good resume in black and white text. Or the qualified guy with a great, well-put together resume organized visually and intuitively with everything there is to know in a more aesthetically pleasing and innovative format which sets him apart from everyone else? I think the latter.. it's clever and sets you apart, without being tacky and "too" different. it's free. create your CV in pdf format, print it, and enjoy :P it really will set you apart from a lot of people. good luck with the job hunt
