Thank you very much!
I think your resume is too responsibilities focused and isn’t providing the reader with a clear grasp of how you have impacted the organizations at which you have worked. Many of your bullet points seem to stop short of telling the whole story – something that could be resolved by including more quantifiable achievements. For example, when you say
"Developed a system to track tanker’s movements from the point of origin to destination."
I would like to know how this impacted the company. Did it increase tanker availability or reduce costs? Are there metrics that speak to the impact?
I would take second look at all of your bullets and ask yourself, "Does this communicate an accomplishment or a responsibility? Am I telling the reader how this achievement positively effected the company?"
I will attach a link to my blog, which has quite a few good resume writing tips. I think you might find it helpful.
Best of luck in the job search!
