References upon request

Your objective is vague. What kind of a job do you want? Try to target your objective more specifically. You state that you have strong organizational skills. You need to back up your assertion with an example(s). You appear to have strong computer skills; wouldn't you want a job in which you can use them? I would put use of your computer skills in your objective.

Alternatively, you can turn your "Objective" section into a "Profile" section. Use the "Profile" section to sell your attributes, knowledge, skills and abilities.

Your "Achievements" reads more like a skills summary. Every college student uses computers and the internet to prepare homework assignments and conduct research. "Achievements" would include any awards or recognitions. Put those in that section. Did you graduate with a high GPA and/or honors? Do you have any other work experience besides Harris Bank?

Finally, you don't need to state you have references, unless you have a compelling reason to say so. Everyone has references.

I like your Vietnamese language abilities.

Hope that helps a little. Good luck with your job search.

I saw your other post in which you stated you worked part-time at the bank in lieu of an internship. Accordingly, IMO you should emphasize your bank employment.

Internships are great for making contacts and getting some hands-on experience. I think actual, relevant, paid employment is better. You have proven yourself to a relevant employer, especially considering you used your earnings to help pay for college.

Once again, good luck with your job search.
