Change you objective so it does not sound so general. Everyone wants to secure a job and use their experience (status-quo) and no one cares about your personal growth.  Think of yourself as a product and think how you would sell yourself to someone.

In your current position remove and revise the line that starts with "Dealt".  Everyone knows what that is but  make it sound more positive and you did something to make it better.

Change "Worked as computer " to maybe just liaison.

 

Good Luck
