• Move your Education section to the bottom of your resume instead of at the top. I almost misinterpreted your resume as a student even though you just recently graduated
• You don't need to list out what you did as a student, so I would remove those three bullet points
• Proofread your punctuation, commas are not needed in between a month and year
• Combine ASCE at the university and professional level together in your Involvement section 
• Formatting: your bullets and text under Halff Associates are not aligned with the rest of your resume
• Formatting: don't include periods at the end of your bullet point 

• List out a few of the projects that you're currently working on and define your tasks that you worked for those specific projects (for me, I like to keep a log of my responsibilities so this will become a useful reference for you in your career)
• What phase of the project are you working on? (Preliminary planning, PA&ED, PS&E, final design)
• Instead of coordinating with clients and cities, what decisions were made from those meetings?

I've attached a copy of my resume. I'm graduating soon and find it a challenge to craft a good resume for entry-level jobs positions. I would really like to get professional feedback for my resume.

I am civil engineering graduate student and student member of the ASCE. I am attaching my resume for the review and to get professional feedback to make my resume stand out while applying for job. 

I would like to thank ASCE and this team of career coaches for this opportunity.

Let me start off by saying thank you for the opportunity and for the work that will be put into looking at these resumes. From recent-grad students to workers looking to beef up their resume, we thank you! I will be applying to new jobs soon closer to the big city I leave near. I want to clean up this resume and frame the experience I have had so far in a way that would look attract employers despite me applying to job in a slightly different field than the one I am directly in.

I am currently working with mostly government contracting work (consulting) and am looking to move into a more design-oriented role, still involving water resources but more design related. I am looking to take the experience I have at my current position and market it towards a design job, despite me not really doing design at my current position. 

Thank you for reading, I appreciate your help!

• Overall the layout is very clean which is great.
• I would encourage you to include an objective section in your resume.
  • You'll want one version of your resume to be general for career fairs and such. But any specific companies you apply to you should customize your resume for that company.
  • In your objective section make sure to list your personal values and skills and how they align with the overall mission and vision of the company or position that you are applying for. You will need to put in some work to research the company but if you're not willing to do that up front, how serious can you really be about getting the job right?
• Under Education
  • I would only include relevant coursework if there is space after adding the objective. If you include the courses, make sure you only list courses that are relevant to the specific position you are applying for. And also best not to include general courses like senior design that everyone has to take.
  • Remove the coursework from the Global experience section. You can include relevant courses in the section above. Personally, I would probably take out the global exp all together but you could leave in if there is space.
• Under your work experience
  • Put the year after each month. I understood what you were doing by the time I got to the third item but most employers don't look at your resume for very long so you want to be overly clear and not add any possible confusion.
  • For a new graduate, I think you do a good job of sharing your experience here.
  • Some areas you don't need to be so specific - "Designed 6, 8, 12 inch water main replacement...." and you could just write "Designed water main replacement...."
  • Some areas you should be more specific - "Updated the City of Cambridge GIS...." What did you update? Who benefited from this update? Can you quantify the benefit, if so list it here?
    • Another example "Conducted drainage calcs....". Calcs for what? Can you name specific calcs and design methods here? You can use this space to showcase key words that would establish yourself as an ideal candidate.
• In the footer
  • I like the references upon request statement
  • I would remove the Revised date. This might help remind you when you last edited the resume but I don't need to see this when I receive a resume. I would expect that if someone gives me a resume, it is up to date.

• It is a little busy with text so I would recommend trimming it down if you can and removing anything that seems repetitive 
  • From your Synopsis section, I would remove the bullet stating that you are well versed with civil engineering software since you list your technical skills below
  • Remove your bullet about possessing strong academic base - that's pretty evident 
  • Remove coursework from your bachelors degree
• I see two instances where you listed Kathmandu Engineering College but it's not listed under your Education
• List your certifications and activities in chronological order, with the most recent at the top

• I would revise your Career Summary section to better highlight what you are looking for in an engineering position, and how it can relate to your career goals. For example, "A graduate of  ABET-accredited Civil Engineering program and registered EIT, looking for a civil engineering opportunity that focuses on environmental and wastewater engineering, as I pursue becoming a Professional Engineer." This section ideally would change each time you submit your resume, so that it is specific to the opportunity you are applying for. This can be the difference between being a "qualified" candidate, and a "preferred" candidate. 
• Throughout your resume you have words that are capitalized that do not need to be. For example, in "Integrated Material Testing and Analyzed ASTM standards..." Analyzed does not need to be capitalized. Also, in "Executed report and` document tracking..." remove the `. Make sure to carefully go over grammar and punctuation in your resume, as this is your first impression with a potential employer.
• I would re-word "Related Expediences" to "Work Experience". I would also highlight the work that you did, to better demonstrate your experience and your capabilities. For example, "Conducted all assigned calculations, reports, and spreadsheets..." List out what type of calculations you performed, and what type of reports and spreadsheets you created. This will better highlight your technical and report writing capabilities.
• I would re-word "Activities" to "Professional Organization Contributions". You could put your ASCE entries here too. I noticed that the format (font size, font type, bullets) of this section look to be different from the rest of your resume. You resume should have a consistent format, so verify that everything matches.

Amar,

I'm going to guess this is your CV and not a resume. A resume should be no more than 1 page long. I have seen some decent resumes that are 2 pages long but I personally dread reading them.

Make sure to include your contact info in the header, and objective, education (just Bachelors and above), work experience, volunteer/awards if they would help your case to get a job.

If you want to update a resume and send it to me, I'd be happy to review it for you.
