1. Show numbers in Skills.  How big were the marketing efforts?  How much did sales improve?  Etc.  Also, capitalize the S in Skills to be consistent with the rest of your resume.

2. Spelling/grammar/typos:

"yielded to profits and satisfied clients." makes no sense.
"implemented a client's database" - did you design it, administer it, what?
"implementation of various media designed to achieve results" - specify the media, and drop the "designed to achieve results".  Just GIVE the results.
"PhotoShop" is misspelled.
"Singers' and musicians' special requests" is missing the apostrophes.
"Other" and "Education" have capitalization messed up.

3. Your Casca Grossa experience is your strong point.  Put it at the top of your experience, and drop the retail manager position below it.

Overall impression: you're currently working two jobs.  You worked while going to school FT.  You're clearly a hard worker, and it impressed me that you got promoted on merit.  You probably come from a good family in Brasil, and have good connections there.




wow!! Thanks for the feedback! It was very helpful. I'm currently looking for a position in Marketing and haven't succeeded yet.  I hope the changes will help me land a good position.

Should I consider a different in layout? I saw some resumes that had the skills on top, in one or 2 words, itemized and then the experience. I thought that if I use the correct skills, will catch attention of head hunters and HR hiring people.

 

Thanks!!
