I really liked your resume mainly because it was simple and very easy to read. You have a lot of information, work experience, and an overall well rounded resume. I liked how you were able to really cram a lot into it without making it look crowed or wordy.
Even though your job experience isn’t in a sales position, it definitely shows you have a wealth of knowledge and real world experience. Because of this I would maybe put it above your skills and coursework. Many of these will be inferred from the details at your summer internships. You also have a very strong extracurricular activities section, far more than anything I have. Having a strong GPA with this many clubs and organization makes a strong statement.
While the overall layout is easy read and flows very well, there seems to be more white space on the right hand side of the page giving somewhat of an unbalanced look. Maybe by putting a larger tab on the subheadings and bullet points it would level things out. The online handout for Friday of week 4 on the calendar page has some good advice for column testing. The example of pages six and seven do a pretty good job of illustrating this. It also may help to make the main headings, objective, education, etc., a size bigger, to make them stand out a little more from the bold print just underneath them.
Overall you have a very strong resume with a wealth of good knowledge and skills. You certainly made a case and sold yourself pretty well. A few more minor touches could really polish it up. I hope some of this helps. Good luck.
I think your resume is very simple, well organized, and it is easy to find specific information quickly. It has very consistent formatting through out the resume. You also did a good job using consistent parallel verbs through out your work experience section. I also thought your objective was very clear and easy to understand.
However I think there are some slight changes that could be made to improve your resume. I think it could be formatted a little better so it doesn't feel like everything is on the left half of the page. Also your work experience could probably go in front of your relevant skills and coursework. Most employers can probably guess what type of course work you have taken based on your major and can tell your skills from previous internships as well.
But on the whole it is a very good resume and does an excellent job of showcasing the considerable experience you have to offer a potential employer. Also with the number of extra curricular activities you have, it seems like a spot you could make your resume stand out compared to alot of other students.
