Provide a list of hobbies and charities and volunteer work. Businesses love overachievers. It's even better when your interests coincide with the field of work you're trying to get into.

Double and triple check to make sure that spelling and grammar is correct. My mom looks at resumes all day and usually puts a bunch of post-it notes on them with corrections.

Needs to be more succinct (a whole paragraph to say that you worked as a cashier?). I understand that you want to play up what you did, but most people don't look at a resume for more than 15 seconds, so be as direct and to the point as possible.

You have many supurfulous words and some of it is redundanr (mentioning several times about your language qualifications)

It also seems strange to promote language and then speak of your chemistry background. Perhaps try to connect or downplay this

i dont know
maybe in needs to be briefer
and maybe its the way its set out
like it looks like a bit much to read all in one go
use shorter words and use like dot points instead of all in one long thing

Well content kind of ok...some small changes may help

1. Start with the Name, Address & Contact Info
2. Followed by objective (which you have done)
3. Next comes the summary of experience in a reverse chronological order...mention name of Company along with the duration you have worked there. Your current job will say : From XYZ(the date you started) till date
4> Experience should be mentioned in points...use simple and effective language
5. Avoid repitition
6. Now comes your education
7. Then your language skills...here too use bullet points
8. Next your computer skilld
9. The skills that you have mentioned in the initial paragraph i.e summary of skills should be included with your ork experience/ computer skills wherever applicable

Hope it helps..

Definitely use bullet points where possible instead of giving a 'story'. Your cover letter/email can include all the persuasive details so focus on making this concise--remember if they are looking for a specific skill and cannot find it quickly they may move on...! Also, INCLUDE REFERENCES. If you don't have written references, try contacting old employers and teachers etc because it has been my experience that employers are more swayed by what other people say about you then what you say about yourself.
AND if possible deliver the application in person and follow it up after 1-3 weeks (depending on the type of position) to show you are actively interested in getting the job.
Showing knowledge about the company in your cover letter also helps, so do your research on the web etc
Hope you have some luck soon!
