1. Where's the rest of it?
2. you might want to add any honors or awards you earned in school or otherwise............ and under school list your GPA and class rank if it is impressive
3. Instead of skills, I would say Offering: Change emp/vol history to Work History. It doesn't matter whether you were paid. Put your employment dates flush let, tab over a bit, put the job title, on the next line under the job title, put a descrition of your responsibilities Even for you vol positions, don't say vol, just say what you do. This is pretty good. Always remember that a resume is a sales tool, designed to peak the employer's interest in you. Put together a list of references, from the people you've worked for, to teachers and people you've babysat for. Anyone who has a glowing report to make about you. Best of luck, email me if you have further questions.
4. You could put other skills such as responsible, organized, self motivated, communication, and explain what you did to improve those skills. ex: Excellent communication skills developed through school presentations, etc.
