Regina,
Your resume needs some work - you have a decent framework, but you need more substance. You need to start with an Objective Statement - what are you looking for, including the ability to relocate from NJ to FL. Then, you need to reformat - information on resumes goes from high importance to lower importance. With your years of service, after the Objective statement, your work experience should be next - for your current experience, expand on the type of projects that you have worked on - be more descriptive. You should do the same for your other work experiences. Your Education should come next - same comment - expand on your major/minor, etc. Skills should come last and some of your skills should include some items from your summary section.
As I said, you have a decent foundation, but you need to expand your writing in all categories. Good luck to you in the future.
Mike

Hello ASCE Resume Coaches,
My name is Regina, and I have master and bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from international university. I am currently living in New Jersey but seeking entry-level opportunities in civil engineering, transportation engineering, or water/water waste engineering in Florida. I am planning to move in October 2026. Also, I am currently registered for FE Civil Exam.
I would greatly appreciate your feedback on how I can improve my resume and get a chance to start my Civil Engineering journey in Florida.
Thank you for your time and support!
